Margie was a special friend. I miss her.
tribute by Mark StamatyI lived across the street from Margie when we were kids . . . MacArthur Avenue. We used to love playing kickball in the street . . . I shall never forget Margie, her wonderful sense of humor, something from out of Little LuLu (which I will probably get wrong) But, i think it was Tubby, that said, "Run for your lives, run for your lives . .. the pudding is out of control! . . . . It cracked her up every time . . . Love you, Margie!
