Prayers for all of her family and loved ones. I have only fond memories of her. She was well known for her big heart, beautiful soul and for me her sense of humor. She was loved by anyone who came into contact with her. God speed. Love Jerri

RiIP my lifelong friend of 61 years. In Heaven you will see Colleen again and you both can reminisce about our vacations we took together for so many years. I will always remember you Bob and the girls down on the New Jersey shore, California, Las Vegas oh so many. The dinners we had with your sisters and brothers., working together at Drew Chemical. I my tears are flowing for our loss. I love you Margie.

No one can ever replace your mother but I will say this, I’m 83 in October and she was 85. I was a substitute teacher for 10 years after I retired from the FBI so I find myself wanting to volunteer to be a substitute mommy to you in anyway I can. Much love and compassion to you darling.
I hate so much that I wasn’t with you to say goodbye to this beautiful woman. I always felt like another daughter even when years went by without being close by. I must say a memory that always makes me smile is when I remember how she taped a paper towel to the sliding glass door so I wouldn’t accidentally walk into it again at our senior party ????. I can’t imagine the loss all of you feel. I hope you can find peace knowing she is no longer in pain and will be watching over you always with Bob by her side As long as we love and remember her, she will never be far. Covid has taken so much from so many, because of the vaccine, we were unable to be with all of you. I’m so glad you were able to be with her at the end. Love and prayers for all of you.
I am sorry I can not be there with y’all in this time. MeMaw was an amazing lady and brought smiles to everyone she talked to. There are no words that can help ease the pain of losing a loved one, just know y’all are in my thoughts and prayers. I know she is in Heaven smiling down on each of y’all, she was truly loved and will be missed greatly. I love y’all! Please let me know if y’all need anything.
Peggy, Maryanne, Michelle,
No words can express how much Aunt Margie meant to us all, she was an Angel who walked amongst us. Our hearts go out to you all and your families during this time of loss and the saving grace is knowing she is back in Uncle Bob’s arms for another dance. Sending love to you all! ????????????
Ms. Margie was a beautiful lady inside and out. She had the most beautiful smile and was such a friendly lady. I am so glad that I was able to meet her and see her over the 25 years that Maryanne and I have been friends. I know Ms. Margie was a much loved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, relative, and friend to many. My deepest condolences for all of you. You are all in my prayers for comfort and peace. How beautiful that Ms. Margie is having a wonderful reunion with her beloved husband and other family and friends in heaven. May God bless you all.
Peggy, Maryanne and Michelle – I am heartbroken that I no longer have the most caring, loving Aunt on this side of eternity. Her heart was bigger than the State of Texas. Though she was a Jersey Girl, and when you all moved it felt like losing you the first time, Aunt Marge always made it feel like you were all still right here. I wish we could be together and share all of the memories. Please know I am loving you all from afar. I take comfort in knowing she is with Uncle Bob and my Mom but this one is so hard. Love to you all and your families – Love, Meg, Dave, Becca & Luke
Rest In the Sweetest Peace Aunt Margie! Thank you for everything you have done for all of us. You loved us unconditionally and supported us in anything we did and for that we are and will be eternally grateful! This is such a huge loss for our family and you will be missed terribly! I take solace in knowing that you will be with Uncle Bob and your sisters ❤️????❤️???? until we meet again ❤️
Peggy, Marianne, Michelle & Families,
Your mom was such a beautiful person on the inside & out. She was also an amazing, caring, loving & generous Aunt.
Every year for Christmas she would send a box of gifts for us to moms house. Every year the boxes would get bigger because
she would include us, our children and our grandchildren. We would open them together at moms house and it became a tradition. I have so many great memories of your mom. She will be truly missed. May your memories help you get through this difficult time. Rest in sweet peace Aunt Margie!❤️
Mothers never really die, they just keep the house up in the sky. They polish the sun by day and light the stars that shine at night, keep the moonbeams silvery bright, and in the heavenly home above they wait to welcome those they love.
Mom, Margaret Morse even though you are no longer here with me I can still feel your love guiding me. You are always in my heart. I love and miss you dearly. Thanks for giving me life and for all the memories.
Love, your middle daughter, Maryanne
To my beautiful cousins, Peggy, Maryanne, Michelle and your families
Your mom was a beautiful person who genuinely cared about our entire family. I will never forget the endless Christmas gifts she sent to all of us in New Jersey every year! I am grateful that I was able to spend time with her, Peggy and my mom on her last visit here. I know they are having a giant party in heaven to welcome her! I wish I could be there to hug each of you in person! May happy memories help you through this difficult time!
Love and hugs,
Vickie and Family
Your mom was a special lady. Always had a witty comment and a pleasure to know and be around. She will be truly missed by all that knew and loved her.
Prayers for the family in the days ahead.
Memaw was not just my grandmother she was my friend. I loved our talks on the phone and when we were together I loved how real she was and always said the right things when you needed to hear it the most. She cared so much for her family and all of the family animals ❤( she would always bring animal treats to all of our houses to make sure they were taking care of too. )Her heart was full! Her faith was like no other and I know without a shadow of a doubt she gained her wings and is in Heaven dancing ????. Love you Memaw . Love your Heather xoxo .
Mother’s hold their childrens hands for a while but their hearts forever. I truly never learned what the words ” I MISS YOU” were until I reached for my Mom’s hand and it wasn’t there. In life ‘WE LOVED YOU DEARLY,” in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, no one else will ever fill. “FLY HIGH MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL” ????????????????????????
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
YOUR 1ST BORN
PEGGY
PS. PLEASE TELL DAD ???? I LOVE HIM & GIVE HIM A GREAT BIG HUG & KISS ????FOR ME
Maryanne,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers for comfort and peace for you and your family.
