My deepest sympathy to all of Marjorie's family. My family goes back a ways with Marj and also with the Ellises ... my mom worked at the bank with Marj years ago in Caldwell. We also lived across the alley from the Ellises way back when I was growing up. My heartfelt sympathy to Ranelle, Reuben, Jerry and Charlene, as well as the rest of Marj's family. God bless each of you during your time of sorrow.

Dear Betty and Amy, I am so sorry that I could not attend Marjorie''s service. Had planned to be but as my mother''s caregiver I have to be here when she isn''t feeling well. Had to take her to the doctor this morning. Your mom/grandmother was such an inspiration to me and I have missed her smiling face sitting in the 2nd pew for some time. Being in the choir, it was a special treat for me to come out and see her beaming face. She always had a smile and was a joy to visit with. I feel badly that I didn''t get over to visit her when she couldn''t get out anymore. Please accept my sincere condolences and know that she is now beaming in Heaven. God bless you all.

Dear Myra, Betty, and the rest of the family, I wish to express my sympathy to you at the loss of your mother and grandmother. Growing up I remember Marge as a woman who took care of my Grandpa George, was always kind to us "Weber" grandkids, and treated us with the love you would expect to get from a grandmother. She always made me feel included, and I have cherished the afgan that she made me when I was about 10 years old. I remember that she didn't just make me an afgan, but asked me what color I would like. To me that was a big thing that I got to pick the color, because being the youngest grandchild, I often didn't get a lot of say in anything. I remember loving going to the bank because we would get to see Marge, and she would make sure we always got candy. We always went out to the ranch trick-or-treating on Halloween, and continued to make a special trip to Grandpa and Marge's house to trick-or-treat even after they moved to town. Marge was a wonderful lady, full of life, and always made holiday occasions special. Please take comfort that she is now at peace with the Lord. I know how difficult it is to loose the ones that we love, but remember that it is only for a little while. We will all be together again someday. God Bless! Joanne Weber-Peller Shawnee, Oklahoma
