Goodbye & God Speed Margie

“Goodbye & God Speed Margie”
June 15, 1953 - October 9, 2005

She was one of four children, girls were they all
Poor Uncle Pete should’ve owned a mall

Sometime around “66” or maybe “65”
Mom, Margie and the little ones moved to Brainard Drive

Margie worked selling donuts and then fried chicken
Needless to say, there was a lot of finger “lickin”

She sold Avon, and Bingo she would play
She could listen to Barry Manilow every single day

She didn’t have a child, not the 2 legged kind
But she had her Abby, and they loved each other just fine

She loved her bears, there were so many of Boyd’s
It wouldn’t be a surprise, if they were insured by Lloyds

She Loved Victorian décor all over her house
But oh dear god, she couldn’t stand a mouse

She loved watching skaters, over the ice they would soar
But she wouldn’t stand for any marks on her floor

She worked at Goodrich & then PolyOne
But it was off to Las Vegas when she wanted some fun

We were surprised that gambling was her thing
But maybe it was just the sound of the slots going ching ching

As if personally responsible for everyone’s lips
Her purse wouldn’t contain less than five or six chapsticks

She quietly gave, her family, friends and many a cause
She was rather like, an everyday Santa Clause

She loved Stancato’s and Louie too
But most of all, she loved all of you

She love all of you, in many ways,
That’s why you’ve been asked to gather today

She’s still giving, even after her souls flight
We just learned that she gave two, the precious gift of sight

While her body gave up at too young an age
Always remember, her soul was set free, like a dove from a cage

Our Margie,
A Person Well Loved, And a Life Well Lived
