I was so saddened to hear that Ms. Marge had passed away the other day! Some years ago, her and Mr.Charles took in a bird that me and my mother couldn't take care of anymore. Mikey lived the remainder of his long life with Ms. Marge and Mr. Charles and because of that me and my mom are eternally grateful!

Aunt Margie was like a second mom to me when I was little. She was a kind, giving, loving person. I missed having her in my life since I left New Orleans. New year's Eve of 1983/84 I spent it with my mom, dad, aunt Margie and Len at Fitzgerald's at the Lake having dinner, I am so thankful for that night. I love you Aunt Margie.
