Margie and my mother were first cousins. After my mother's death, Margie and I got together a few times to get acquainted and to remember. Margie visited our home a few times while she was a student at BGSU. Mom and Dad would invite her out for dinner and to hang out. Then Dad and Mom sold some of their crafts in Margie's store in Bluffton. Margie went with me to visit my aunt Carol and Uncle Dick in Celina a couple of times. We also met for lunch at Tony's a couple of times also. Margie was a sweet, loving lady and very encouraging. I enjoyed the time we spent together. God Bless each one of you. She loved her family very much!
