We were sad that we are just now learning of Margery's passing. The Baker family shared some wonderful memories with this precious family. Helen & Margery are having a time in heaven!
I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear mom. She was a big part of my growing-up years, and gave me one of the best friends I ever had in Bill. Bill, I've tried everything to find you these past years, with no luck. Please contact me if you can! L5debbie@yahoo.com or 615-504-3534. Prayers for you all.
Bill,
I just heard about your Mom. You all are in out thoughts and prayers.

Bill, so sorry to hear about your mom. She was a very positive influence, loved and remembered always.
Joey and Bill
Your Mother was one of my favorites - always sweet, interesting and fun to be around. As I recall you were both so much like her in that way. She will be missed but truly remembered. May our Heavenly Father comfort your grieving heart.

So sorry to read of the death of Miss Margery. She was a fine Christian lady that loved her family and her church (and me) dearly. I hate that I was out of town and missed the service. Would love to reconnect with Bill- please let me know how I can touch base with you! Kduncan@ihi.org
Joey, I was sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was always so sweet to me and of course, my own mother loved her dearly. Mother died from complications from Alzheimer's three years ago. I bet she and your mom are sharing stories of their grandkids now that they are together again. Again, my prayers are with you.
Loved your mother she was a joy carol reginelli burdison
