To the Samolinski Family... Marjorie will be missed. She was such a sharp woman. She had a loving heart AND she holds a special place in mine. I learned many things from her, especially how to be a strong, business woman. See you later Marj, Jenny Behrens
Todd and family, so sorry for your loss.
It was so wonderful to visit with Marge throughout the years of family get togethers, those are memories I’ll cherish. She always talked about her great-grand children we shared together as a grandmother. ❤️
