    Sorry for your loss. Margie is the last of my original neighbors from when mom and I moved into 612 N. 9th 47 years ago. She and Russ were good neighbors. May she rest in peace.

    Marilyn and family, My prayers and condolences on the passing of your Mom. So many memories back when my family and my grandparents lived on the corner down from your home on 8th street. Always seeing her at church sitting in the back pew. I know she is with our Lord and Savior and seeing so many others we miss. Walking those beautiful streets of gold! May God comfort you in this time!
