Shocked to see this posting. Please know how sorry I am for your loss. We were in touch for awhile after Mel passed but lost touch after she moved. Keep your memories in your hearts!

Margie was my Beta sorority sister until she moved. Our group talks about her often and miss her friendly personality and helpful ways. These last years have been a struggle but she always met diversity head-on with prayer and determination. She will be missed. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy.
With Beta love Xi Gamma Chapter, Mary Partridge
