I would like to express my sincere condolences to your entire family. I only met Marge one time and that was through a sliding glass door at the facility where she was residing last Easter. That day she was vibrant and joyful that we had come to see her. I have heard many wonderful stories from my close friend and co-worker, Gary. She is now at peace with the Lord and I do believe that we will all meet again. God Bless you all.

I remember and appreciate Mrs. Homuth’s kindnesses. Condolences to Larry and all the family.
