We are so late in our note to you but we left on a trip shortly after the service and are just now writing you. Marjorie was one of our favorites. We remember sitting in your backyard in the summertime with the kids running around. How lucky we were to have you as our very first neighbors! Keep in touch, keep healthy and remember to let us know when you visit LR. Now that we are back in town we are getting a memorial off to PHMC in our friends honor! Late as usual!!! Love you all, Sue and Peter

We are there in spirit with you, with Johnny, with Janie and your grandchildren even tho we are physically unable to be there in psrson. I have GREAT memories of yesteryear in Norfolk when we laughed together belly laugh style.
