Bruce and Susan; we are sorry to hear of the passing of one of our extended family members,Marjorie. I of coarse remember visiting all of you often at the old house in Paw Paw. I don't have to tell you how proud she was of both of you. It always showed. To you, she was a loving mother. To me, she was one of the nicest, kindest members of the family I am sad that she is gone. Robert and William Young, Dallas, TX

To Marjorie's family: She was a lovely, kind lady and a longtime friend of my Mother Mildred. Her work at the Methodist Church in Paw Paw was never ending and I enjoyed working with her there many times.
