Dear Sarah and Martin, Ralph and Connie Sweet remember Marge as we lived on the same street in Brooklin, Ontario. We remember her wonderful birthday parties for Sarah, sharing child rearing information, watching Sarah grow up and turn into the wonderful person she is today, Brian, our son, helping her with her lovely gardens, our telephone conversations, our discussions of experiences in the states. She was one of the most optimistic people I have known and she will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Our sincerest condolences go to you, Sarah, Martin and family.

Dear Sarah & Martin, there's so much to be said about Marge. She was certainly a force to be reckoned with. Marge was a friendly, compassionate, intelligent soul with a great sense of humour, who lived life to the fullest for as long as she was able. Marge always treated Martin like her own son and we are forever grateful. Please remember you are not alone.....we are always here for you.
Love, Mom & Dad R.

Some of my fondest memories at the Woodhaven were spending time with Marge. We would reflect on movies and share photography stories together. I didn't know her for long, but she will forever have a place in my heart.

Dear Sarah, Martin and family,
I am so saddened by Marge's passing. She was a wonderful woman and we shared many precious moments at The Woodhaven. While I was studying for my RN degree, she was always there with encouraging words and stories that I will never forget. She touched many people's lives and her spirit will continue to live on in all of our hearts.
Wishing you peace,

Dear Sarah and Martin: I am so sorry to hear of Marge's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of painting her nails and listening to her stories! We would pass the time eating cookies and listening to the Bee Gees, or Elvis! I loved her very much and will always be grateful for being a part of her life. Please have comfort knowing you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Leah Collins
