Marjo shared with us, her family, a lifetime of love, kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity. She knew how to enjoy, celebrate and have fun with all of us. And when the need arose she always was there to support, encourage and assist each of us. Her absence now creates such a void in our lives, but the person she was will be forever present in our lives. We love you, Marjo!
Joe and Linda

Words cannot express the loss we are feeling. We have shared so much and always knew we were there for each other. You were not only my sister but a very, very special friend. Marjo, we love you so much and you will always be in our hearts and prayers.
