Marge and I first met at Fifth Presbyterian Church where we became good friends and that friendship blossomed into a wonderful, best-friend relationship when we attended Feitshans High. Even though I moved away from Springfield, our friendship remained strong. Strength is a word that describes Marge well especially when it came to her spiritual strength. My sister Connie who posted a condolence earlier commented about Marge's sense of humor. I wholeheartedly agree. During the few times that we visited during my Springfield trips over the past few decades, we had marvelous "laugh fests" as we reminisced. I will miss you, Marge. Love, Hilma
