I want to give sincere condolences to Dennis and family, Susan and family. I really want to say first of all I enjoy taking care of ur mother. We would have the most interesting conversations. Not only that she made me laugh with her humor. Marge will always have a place in my heart. Kim stanford
To Dennis and Sally, our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Marge brought happiness and caring into this world. She will be missed by all of us. The Hawks will miss their #1 fan too. My condolences to all her family.
I would like to offer my condolences to you all, Dennis and Susan it was a pleasure to be a little part of your family. My dad “Jerry” cared very much for both Harry and Marge. They were a blessing to him naming him his honorary son! I miss my dad dearly and I know you have struggled not only with your mom’s death but the days proceeding. How great is our God. my scripture has been, O death where is your sting. I know they are where they wanted to be, and lets see them gathered at a table enjoying each others company!
Blessings,
Susan Parson (Jerry’s daughter)
