Marjorie was my favorite Aunt…… She will be deeply
missed …….. All my love and prayers to her family.
I have such fond memories of your mother when she would visit Wichita. I remember her taking Kelley and I to a department store tearoom when we were about 6 and 7. She let us order the most extravagant desserts and we had a delightful time.
I pray your faith, along with a heart full of memories, will bring you peace at this time.
I remember the department store tearoom visit also. We’d never had an experience like that before and it left quite an impression on us. Your Mom was such a fun and lively woman. Her photo looks just as I remember her from such a long time ago.
Prayers and Blessings to you and your families.
