Dear Cindy & Jim; and other family members of Marg and John:
I just read about your Mom’s passing and want you all to know what a pleasure it was to meet your Mom and Dad. Many years ago I was a visiting teacher for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Vauxhall, and we were privileged to visit them in their home every month for a number of years. We enjoyed some wonderful talks and discussions. She was a special lady. My loving thoughts are with you at this time.
Sincerely: Norma Zobell
Shane and Laurie,
So sorry I did not make it to the funeral. I ended up taking a little fall myself, and decided it would not be wise to go out, and put stress on my knee. I loved Marg, and really enjoyed my visits with her and John. They were a fun couple to be with. It is difficult to watch a loved one go through health problems. Marg is now happier where she is, at the present time. My love and sympathy goes to you and your family. The good memories will help sustain you, as you deal with your loss.
Sincerely, Rose Fisher

We were so saddened to hear that our wonderful neighbour and friend had passed. Marg was a lovely lady with a quick wit and a heart of gold. She was so funny and loved to watch our grandkids play in the backyard always making a point of giving them treats when they showed up at her door. Heaven has another angel. We will miss you Marg.

My deepest sympathy to all her loving family.
