Your photos are a nice tribute they tell a life story of someone who really loved life,had fun along the way, lived life to the fullest and was surrounded by so much love. I grew up in Fulton and use to see Marjorie around as a kid she always had a smile on her face and was kind.
I am sorry for your loss. I am sure she will continue to watch over you.
Stay Strong.May GOD Bless and be with your Family.

Missy:
Sorry to hear about your mom passing. I remember working with your mom at Wal-Mart....I was very young at the time. She was one of my favorites to work with. Her and Tom were great people. I always enjoyed talking to them. They always made people feel comfortable when talking to them. I know they will be greatly missed by many. Prayers to you & your family.

Missy, in case you did not get Doris's and my message to you on facebook, I will say it here. So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She always was so sweet and fun to be around. We have so many fond memories of her, your Dad and you here in fulton, Bowling Green and on their farm. We were looking forward to seeing you when Meschelle had arranged for a meal at your place. Hopefully we still will make it later on. Blessings and God's peace to you and your family.
