Marge, I only met your mother a couple of times, but I feel I knew her because Sue spoke of her so often and so happily. Your wonderful family is a testament to her. You are a shining light for me, miles away. I feel so lucky to have been your neighbor; you and yours were and are a wonderful influence on my girls, and it's carrying over into faraway Egypt. So powerful is the force of human love!

Dear Marge, Sue, and Family,
I'm sorry for your great loss. So infectious was her enthusiasm for life! Decades ago, I remember carving a pumpkin and roasting the seeds with her when she was "old" to me. And she drove a stick shift; that made her an even cooler grandma. She's partially responsible for Sue's amazing perspective on love and life. We're lucky she was with you, Mike, your mother, and the rest of your family through some of the 21st century. XOXOXOXOOXOXOXOOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOX
