She was a great and caring nurse as well as a great surgical nurse. She was well loved by her co-workers
and was always willing to help out whenever needed.I kept in touch with Marge via letters, and she always responded
with a note back talking about the whole family! I was sad when she left CT but I am so glad I had the opportunity
to work with such an amazing woman. Her memory will always be a blessing to those of us that knew her and worked with her. May she rest in peace .
