Pam and Dennis- so sorry to see that your Mom has passed. I never normally say they are in a better place, but in her case, with all her siblings and your Dad gone, she is reunited for now! Pam, I’m sorry I didn’t know about Larry. We are in South Texas now.

We shall always remember Aunt Marge with great fondness and greatly regret that we had less and less contact with her over the years. I for one will always recall her lively spirit and energetic nature. Our sincerest condolences.
