Kathy, I am so sorry about your Mom, I wish I would have known before today, Dec. 16, 2019, I always liked your Mom and Dad, I remember always coming over and playing, eating dinner, going in the bait shed and screaming about the cray fish on a stick, your Mom would think we got pinched, She was such a sweet loved Lady I have her recipe for Lincoln Lee Pudding and she thought me how to make Christmas bows, I still have some that we made and she gave me, sorry to say I forgot how to make them, Blessings and Hugs, to you and the Family
As a kid I spent a couple weeks each summer in Summit Lake, Marge is the one who taught me to play Yahtzee!
Kathy, I remember your mother as a sweet and strong woman who always seemed to have a smile for everyone. My sincere condolences to you, Eric and your family. Carol S. LaMar
Kevin Gustisha I was deeply saddened upon receiving word of Margie's passing. My mother and Margie would play Yahtzee everyday during the summer, when I was growing up. I remember this freed us kids up for whatever adventure we pursued. Proof that Adult Supervision is Overrated.
I was so sorry to find this out. May she rest in peace. I will say a prayer for her at my Thursday service.
