Marjorie and I had a very special friendship during our early teen years. She was like a sister to me. I remember all the happy, wonderful times we had together. I was blessed to know your family. My love and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I was so blessed to have Ms.T in my life. Her deep love of family, friends and life, was always evident in the way that she made you feel. I lost my mom quite young, and when the two of us connected, she became just like a mother to me. I will always cherish our special bond and I will forever love her family.. Rest in peace dear one....I love you, Angie
Sending my deepest sympathy to all.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I remember Miss Marjorie as director of the youth choir at Aldersgate, and I was in the same class as David at Alice Drive. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered!
