Jamie-Lynn, Paul and Jennifer and families
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Marge...Your Mom and Dad initially hired me as a dishwasher at the Del Rio when i was in Grade 10....I rose thru the ranks per se under their tutelage to be a short order cook and eventually the supper cook and would close the restuarant at the end of the day.
Their guidance and support helped me both develop a life long skill set but also helped my self confidence immensely... I have nothing but positive memories and am eternally grateful for the opportunity and learnng they provided me.
Take Care Varley

To all of Marge's family, we express our sorrow at your loss. We've known Marge (and Gary) for a long time growing up in Hanover. We got to know them better playing card games in Florida while visiting Roy & Darlene Gilkinson (Laurie's parents) and most recently, while seeing them at gatherings of the area Parkinsons coffee club. Your mom was such an authentic person, somebody who worked hard, and with whom you always felt comfortable and knew where you stood. The last few years have been tough for Marge - losing Muriel, then Gary. Our hearts want to believe she is now in a place where she's laughing and being social. Rest easy, Marge.
Jamie Lynn & Families. Hugs and prayers on the loss of you mom. I'll always remember her big smile.
- Marg & Al MartinSincere sympathy to all of Marge's family. She will certainly be missed.
- Rick and Sandy ErmelOur deepest sympathies to you Jamie, John and family in the loss of your dear Mother. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and sending you strength for today and the days ahead. Sincerely, Shannon & Paul Rhody
