Beth, Frank, Michelle and Jen - I'm so sorry for the loss of this wonderful woman. Granda Marge was such a sweet person. Always smiling and very willing to talk to anyone! You were very blessed to have her in your lives for so long. Beth, you took such good care of her. I know you will miss her terribly but she is finally reunited with your dad and brothers and everyone else that she loved so much. I love you guys!
