Chris and the family, Very sorry to hear of Marge’s passing. You are in our thoughts. If you need anything please let us know. Judy Mackert
Dear Ken and family, You are all in our prayers during this time of loss. We all have such wonderful memories of Marge, her love of the Lord and her love of family and life. We will miss her so much. We are thankful for the Thanksgivings at the farm and visits to Dallas. I (Becky) will never forget her asking me one summer at the farm if I wanted to get up early and ‘do chickens’. When I found out what that meant, I declined quickly! I sure loved benefitting from her wonderful garden and cooking, though, and still have a few of her recipes. We love you all so much and are grieving with you. We wish we could be ther, but are with you in spirit. Love, Becky and Chuck

We were saddened to hear of Marge’s passing. I have such fond memories of Marge and the entire Siggin’s family growing up. Please find comfort in knowing she is in a better place and we will all see her again in heaven. Always remember, some people make a difference just by being who they are. Their inner light shines bright and touches lives both near and far. And even when they’re gone, they still forever play a part in the smiles, the priceless moments, that are treasured in our hearts. Marge is one of those people. We love you all, and wish we could be there. Please know we are there in spirit. Our deepest sympathy, Deb & Steve Nelson (Collingwood-Daughter #2) 🙂
