My sympathy to Margies family. Bobby and I were classmates and friends, so got to see Margie sometimes too and remember her from the time she and Bobby were married. A great part of a special couple. Dorothy Hacker

I want to express my sympathy to Marjorie’s family. She & Bobby were very special to our family. We enjoyed worshiping with them at church. I admired their sweet, devoted relationship as husband & wife and saw them as good role models. They blessed our lives in many ways.
