I wanted so much to come today but I am on back with a really bad back. Just know I loved your mom a lot. She was amazing and so funny. She lived by her own rules and I loved that. I love all of you 💖
I’m so sorry the hear about the loss of Marjorie! I had the privilege of visiting with her 3x a week and I will cherish all of this memories! Rest easy ‘Gramma’
Everyone should be so fortunate to have an incredible role model like my grandmother. She was a shining example of love and integrity for our family. Her strength lives on in me and the rest of our family.
When I reflect on all that my grandmother overcame in her life, I am awestruck by her unwavering love and strength. Being her grandchild is the greatest honor of my life. I am proud to call her grandma.
1am so thankful to have been born on the same day as her.
She always said I was her little angel. My Grandma was never wrong about anything.
But she was wrong about that. It was the other way around; and she has and always will, forever be mine.
Fly high and free with the angels Grandma, Love your biggest fan

Dear Dixie, Rosemary, Dawn and all your family,
I have the most fond memories of the “silver fox”! Your mom, grandma, aunt etc. was one of the most amazing individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing. I am sure she will be deeply missed by all who knew her. May your precious memories provide you the greatest of comfort now and in the difficult days ahead. With my deepest sympathy and fondest affection of an incredible lady!, Alice
You were my personal hero. You taught me how to keep getting back on the stage no matter how bad the last performance was. You taught me how to never stop trying to be better. That is how you live in me forever.
