Sally, I didn't find out about Midge's passing, until yesterday, when I went to Rockville. These condolences are late but heartfelt.
My memories of Midge are of someone who was always smiling and fun...I remember her recounting kayak crabbing expeditions that were so funny!!
She will be missed by everyone who knew her!!
Thinking of all of you,
Cindy S.

I was so sorry to hear of dear my cousin Midge's passing, she was such a treasure. We had some wonderful and often times hilarious adventures as kids whenever we visited Rockville. I'll never forget when she made me try her mother's steamed okra for the first time. She just howled at my expression of disgust. She was such a fun loving soul. I Will miss her. My prayers are with Sally, Buddy, Jimmy and her family. She is at peace now with Eleanor and Tunny in heaven. God bless.

There was only one Midge. There will never be another. Cute, clever, and always full of fun. Caring, thoughtful, and fiercely loyal, she was a Rockville institution. Midge was Nan Bailey number two, and now both are gone, and there is an emptiness that can never be filled. They are and forever will be greatly missed.
