I am so sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose someone, especially a parent. Please know you are all in my prayers along with Marge. I will always remember her hospitality when I would take mom to her house for the club meetings, and her ready smile !

Marge will be missed by all. she was such a lady and so dedicated to the church. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. ~ Linda Harvey Interior, SD (12/24/2011)
We were blessed to know your parents when they pastored here in Kimball. Ray visited your dad many times when he was housebound and said they did a lot of "talking about" hunting and fishing. I remember your mother as a smart, sweet, and caring woman. Know you will miss her, but the good memories will always remain in your hearts. ~ Ray and Luann Heath Kimball SD (12/24/2011)
Your mom was such a good friend to my mom,Thelma Maresh, in Kimball. They have corresponded for birthdays, Christmas, etc. after your Mom left Kimball. Mom would always tell me when she got a letter from Marge! Mom died Sept. 22 so she and Marge will be reunited again! Many prayers. June Erickson ~ June Erickson Siux Falls, SD (12/24/2011)
