I still remember in the early 90’s if auntie heard one of 2 songs come on the radio she would sing and dance around with the biggest smile on her face. One song was “I will survive, and the other was 4 non blondes What’s up”
I had so many fun summers having Auntie Marge as my “mom”. So fun and loving, but watch out if we got caught doing something wrong! 🙂 She always welcomed me into her home- even if it meant having three teenage daughters to deal with! Thank you, Auntie Marge, for loving me and being a part of so many great summer memories. Love you.
I have been friends with Margie since we met in first grade. There were many nights of sleepovers, Friday night dances at the Y, cruising University Ave, to Porky’s and then over to Roadside Drive-in. I was jealous that she got a horse and was the first one in our group to get a job. She was a true and loyal forever friend and even though we didn’t get together more than once a year later on, it was always like we had never been apart. I will always miss my friend. Love ya Marge, Ann Patterson.
