Marge was a very special lady,always so kind a pleasure to care for.
I have many fond memories big and small of Max&Marge and their Great Love
Feel blessed to have known them
Now they are together agian
So sorry to her of Marge’s passing. What a wonderful life to live to be 94. We all should be so lucky.
I have to admit, this notice took my breath away. The last time I had an opportunity to speak with your mother was at your father’s funeral reception. As with most women of her generation she was doing well outwardly that day. She was such a light to the world. I still remember the confidence my mother felt as she “handed over” my brother Bill to the care of your mother. I will always remember the smile and the warmth your mother shared as we entered church on Sunday, lessons of Christian love without needing a classroom. She always had time for that little person who needed a hug. Mrs. Thomas was a true blessing to her husband, her family, her church, and the community she called home. Hugs and good feelings to each of you as you move ahead to a new journey in life.
Sorry to hear of your moms passing but Max who loved her dearly will be together again. I will have them both in my prayers.
Our prayers and condolences to Marge’s lovely Family! She was a thoughtful lady and she and Max will now be together! Much love from Reg and Mary Lynn
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. Your parents were a wonderful, loving couple who were so considerate of others in their times of need.
God bless,
Sharon Taft Staudinger & family

Please know the thoughts and prayers of all the Murphy’s are with you and your family. God Bless.
