A Life Well Lived
She walked gently on this earth serving others throughout her life,
A daughter, sister, mom and nana — a loving and devoted wife.
The definition of a lady, refined and elegant in every way,
Tirelessly caring for friends and loved ones each and every day.
Her thoughts were never of herself — her role in life quite clear;
She nurtured all who crossed her path and held each one so dear.
Thank you, Lord, for allowing Marge to enrich our lives so much,
By sharing her love and laughter and feeling her gentle touch.
Now she’s in your kingdom watching us from up above —
As she continues to bless us with her unconditional love.

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Marjorie. The passing away of a loved one is always with much sorrow. May we have faith and confidence in the Bible’s promise of a time when pain, sickness and death are a thing of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences are with the family at this difficult time.
