I can’t find or even hope to find words to say how special Marge was and how much she meant to me, but I’ll try. First, I have to say that she and Dick (her husband’s nickname) were definitely “a team”, and Dick was a “character”, to say the least. Even though I was probably half their age, we came to be very close friends and shared countless good times over the years. We started off with only small cottages (cabins) on our beloved White Lake, where getting there only by boat or snowmobile, relying on kerosene lamps, woodstoves and propane fridges, all served to make things that much more exciting and fun. In addition, we had some great times travelling and visiting our American cottage neighbours at their homes in Pennsylvania.
Marge, or “Mawzy” as Dick used to call her, could be just as excited and giddy about the escapades we went through, but there was always a sense of focus or wisdom that she kept in reserve for just the right time. You see, she and Dick were true and trusted friends over the years; but for many of those years I was still “growing up”, and Marge was often, in some special or unique way, like a second mom to me.
So Mawzy - I say “thanks” . You have been a blessing to me and to so many. May God now bless you on your journey.
Theo, Lynn, Sandy & families - May you joyfully move on to celebrate the life of this special lady.
