    Marge Plamann was one of the most loving, caring and wonderful people I have ever known. She had a beautiful ability to make people feel welcomed and loved and embraced in her presence. I have known her since I was 16 years old and I am now 70. My life is brighter, fuller and more whole because of her. The world, as well as my heart, has a hole in it without her here. I do know that I will think of her every day for the rest of my life.

    Marge was my dad’s (JB Waltman) cousin. They had so many memories of good times growing up together. She was always such a kind, caring person to my family. Please accept our sincere condolences. Hugs.

    I’ve been lucky to have/share such wonderful memories of your Mom. Cruising on our boat with her and Dick in the Pacific NW, Maui with Mrs. P., Sunday roast beef dinners in their house in Lawrence and many more. Mrs. P. made sure to make me feel welcome and also made sure to keep me stocked up with Jayhawk bling. She was one of a kind and I will miss her.
