Lia, thanks so much for sharing a little about your gramma’s life. It sounds like she made a wonderful home and made everything special for all of you. I know her special heart lives on in you and most likely others in your family. Hugs to you all.
Auntie Marge is now having fun with all of the friends and family that have gone before her. I will always love and miss you.

Our deepest sympathies to you all on the loss of your much loved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, May she rest in peace.
From Connie Bandirea and all your Australian relatives.
So sorry for the loss of your mom.
My Aunt Marge
I have always loved and admired my Aunt Marge. From the time she first met my Uncle Dan, I thought she was the most beautiful and nicest person I had ever met.
When they started to date “steady” Margie was so nice to me. She would let me go on walks with her and my Uncle Dan (I am sure they wanted to be alone, but she never made me feel like I was barging in on their private moments).
I was the oldest of their nieces and nephews so I was always very close to them. My Aunt Marge was only 15 years older than me.
When I was dating and thought I was in love, my Aunt Marge invited me and my boyfriend to dinner. It was very fancy, great Italian food, wine and after-dinner drinks! I thought this was really “neat” and they were my “ideal couple.”
When I was married and had my first baby, I wanted my Aunt Marge to be Denise’s godmother.
My Aunt Marge was so kind and thoughtful. I will never forget how she visited my mom daily in the hospital, giving her comfort as she was dying from cancer. Aunt Marge walked up 15 flights of stairs to the oncology floor to visit my mom because Aunt Marge was afraid of elevators.
Thank you Aunt Marge for loving my Uncle Dan and our family. You are truly a person that I love and admire. You mean a lot to me and always have.
Your Grateful Niece,
Dianne

Aunt Marge,
I could write a book about you. You have inspired me in so many ways. I love you and Uncle Dan.
Dear Joanne,
I was so sad to hear about the loss of your mom. She was always so kind.
