I always enjoyed seeing Marge at the VSC meetings, conventions and in the past IC conventions. She was always good for a laugh and a humorous remark. She will be missed, but will be joining many ESA sisters in heaven.
I’ll miss seeing your smiling face out there Miss Marge.
Marge was a wonderful friend and ESA Sister, I have many special memories of her. Nancy and Sherman and Alpha XI Sisters you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Marge will be missed greatly by all her ESA sisters. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Nancy and Sherman. I love you both.
