Deepth sympathy to Richard Sr. and children. Margie and Richard have been dear friends for many years. Margie was my aid on a 'handicappied bus' and was such a caring person and kept the children in perfect control. She was just the right person for that job. I'll certainly miss her and miss her in the middle of everything at church. My God Bless you Richard and family at this time. Sincerely, Wayne and Gloria Sumner
