I have been friends with Margie since our years at WIU and SIU together. I'm still struggling to comprehend why this had to happen.

Wishing you peace during this horribly difficult time. Yesterday's wake was a true test testament to the difference Margie made in so many lives. She left us too soon, but the impact she had will be felt for years to come. I was so happy to hear that someone at the wake was going to adopt Kenji. I know Margie is smiling, knowing her friend will have someone to love and care for him.

Dear Morrison Family - I worked with Margie at MTV and we've been friends ever since. I am deeply saddened by her passing. I can hear Margie's laugh as I think about her and my life has been richer from knowing her. I am so sorry for your loss.
