    Jan, so sorry for your loss. My prayers are for comfort for you and your family. I'm glad I got to meet your Mom at the lunch we had, every time I think of fixing fish, I have a picture of you two in my mind. The story you told of taking her to get her first professional pedicure, was priceless, I wish I'd had the chance to do that with my Mom. The pictures you shared of her and Leah, the lunches and the crafts always brought smiles to all that saw them. She was a wonderful lady and she raised a wonderful daughter.

    Edson Family, Please accept my condolences. I feel as though Marge was a part of the Tilden Family. I can not look at a scrabble game without thinking of her and My Grandmother and Inez playing a game. Marge was like an Aunt to all of us. She will be missed.
