    Dear Michael & Ella,
    So good to have met your parents in California decades ago. Your mother’s wonderful tribute, listing some of her achievements and impressive contributions, attests to a life so well crafted–truly remarkable! Her interests in and regard for Life are so apparent in each of her children. No doubt our mamas have plenty to share about us on the other side!
    Warm regards, Jean-A
    PS: Also, my dad passed same date as Marjorie’s memorial; she (and you) will ever be in my heart every December 16th.

    I too held Marjorie in especially high regard for her wit and kindness. I was in her presence only three times, but each was fun and memorable!
    This condolence comes four years tardily but is no less heartfelt. Jo-Ann Langseth
