I have known you forever. I can't imagine what sadness Steve is going through. He has lost two mothers now. I know you are telling Ralph and Barb what a wonderful son they raised and how proud they should be. Will miss you a lot.

I'll always be feeling Marge's presence when I'm at the office, and I'm thankful for that. She was the epitome of tradition and grace. A true lady with principals, morals , and pure dedication. I love you, Marge, and I'll miss you with all my heart. God bless you and may peace be with you always.
