My love to the Daniels Family. I've been thinking of Marjorie a lot and was wondering how she was doing. I decided to Google her name to see what came up an her obituary came up. I didn't know she had passed. Bob and Marjorie were kind hearted people. They helped those who were less fortunate than they were. I miss Bob so much and keep his family in my prayers. May Marjorie rest her sweet soul in peace.

I remember Mrs. Daniels when she helped at school in the room mother days. She was a very nice mom. I am very sorry for your loss. John, your memories will be a comfort to you now.

Margie was such a warm, kind,
and special friend to me. She
was a mentor in my spiritual
growth. Both Marge and Bob
were so caring and giving people. And she loved my
sticky buns. You all will be
in my prayers during this
difficult time.
