Dear Pat and family, Uncle Delbert, and all,
Wes and I always enjoyed being with aunt Marge. He often spoke of the influence she had on his life when she was youth leader during the Albany days.
So glad, Pat, that you encouraged us to make the trip to Dayton in order to see your parents. I am so glad we did that. Those Posson girls were known for their good looks, their love of learning, and their devotion to the Master. What a reunion there must have been in Heaven! Our love to you andUncle Delbert.

Pat, your dear mom was a very special aunt to us and great-aunt to our daughters and we always enjoyed being with them and only wish we could have been with them a whole lot more. She was a sweetheart and Godly model in every way. You have taken great care of her for so long and we know you and your family will miss her terribly. She has left you wonderful memories and that's a great blessing. Our love to you all, Jim and Joyce

Dear Del, Pat and Steve, Jeannie and Doug, and all the family,
My heartfelt prayers are being sent to the heavenly Father for His grace, peace, and comfort to surround you as you mourn the passing of such a wonderful Christian lady! Marge was such an inspiration and encouragement to me in my early Christian walk. Only God knows how many lives she touched with her quiet and gentle spirit. I'm sorry that I will not be able to attend the viewing / funeral to express my sympathies to you all in person as I will be attending a memorial service for my cousin on that same day and time. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Love to all, Rosie North

Dear Friends,

Marge was an inspiration and role-model for many of us at Trinity Wesleyan Church. Her courage, devotion, and manner were extraordinary. We will miss her smile, but know that she is dancing with Jesus and all those who went before her. God bless and comfort the entire family as you adjust to her passing.

Love,
Debby & Dick
