Hugs #8 from: Gail DeGood-Guy  Richwood Thu, May 8, 2025 at 7:18 AM Please accept my condolences for your loss of Marge.   I remember meeting her for the first time when I came home from the service at her store uptown in 1998. While I didn't know her, she knew I was Hilda's daughter and talked to me like we were old and fast friends. I felt so welcomed!  That's the way she was...made strangers feel like old friends.   #9 from: Rona Penix   Thu, May 8, 2025 at 7:44 AM What a nice lady Marge was! Sorry to hear of her passing.

God bless you and your families. #18 from: Crystal Harbord Germany Fri, May 9, 2025 at 9:18 AM I remember when you chose me to sing for a musical at the LaRue United Methodist Church. The theme was The Fruit of God’s Spirit.  I sang: Love is Part of the fruit of God’s Spirit. Love is proof that God lives in me. Love is one of the ways I am like him. Love is part of God’s plan for me… I remember this so well because it was one of the few times in my life that I felt like I was someone special. I was chosen to sing this beautiful song by you because you believed in me. And that day I felt like I was a shining star. Being accepted and being a part of the family. Spending the night with many times playing that huge piano and singing gospel songs. These were all part of God’s plan for me. I love you. And I thank you. Now you can sing with the angels. #19 from: Joseph Derringer Arizona Sat, May 10, 2025 at 1:57 AM My condolences to the family. A lot of memories in La Rue.
