I will have lasting memories of time spent at Marge and John's cottage by Townsend. As a child it was always an adventure and a treat to visit the "cottage" to go fishing, picking blackberries, swimming and water skiing on Boot lake. In later years when I took my kids camping at Boot Lake we would visit Marge and play chicken-foot (dominos) til 10-11 at night. I remember her 90th birthday when we surprised her with 90 roses and she took some of them to area nursing homes to give to others. It was sad to see her struggle with dementia the last few years. She had good days and bad days. I'm glad she is at peace now and in her Savior's arms. Til we meet again. Together in Christ.
