I am so sadden to hear the news about Marge. Janet Erazmus told me the sad news. Please know that you are all in my prayers. Marge was always so friendly and had nothing but kind words about all of us teachers.
I am really saddened to read of Margie’s death. She was someone I grew up with. We have known each other since we were 3 years old. May I offer my sympathy to her family. Sincerely Mary Beth Doyle (Rozga)
I am finding out about Mrs. Smith’s passing quite late, but I offer my condolences nonetheless. Mrs. Smith was my girl scout leader for several years, and I am grateful to have been shaped by her leadership when I was younger. She was an amazing lady. She was always very kind and supportive.
