She was my kind of girl the first time I met he-although she did NOT feel the same about me.
I was her caregiver and she was picky-- so am I -- I loved her -tried to make her laugh and smile. She was beautiful and loves her Kids.
I think about her and talk to her ask her about heaven and shall never ever forget her- I love you Marjorie
