So sorry for you all. She was a beautiful sole.
To the Wright Family I’m so very sorry to hear of the passing of Marjorie.
Majority & Keith always took time to talk to me be it my high-school days or back at the last all school reunion when we had an extended conversation. She was a wonderful lady that left a lasting impression on many. You are all in my thoughts.
Thinking of you. So sorry for your loss.
May she Rest In Peace.
Our sympathy and prayers to all of you at this time. She was a beautiful lady. She always had time for a visit. Whenever we would see your folks they would stop and talk. Remembering all the Sunday potlucks at the Catholic Church in McHenry. God Bless all of you!
Carol & Mike & Family,
We send our condolences on the loss of your mother. May she Rest In Peace.

Marlene and Wright families, so very sorry for your loss of Marjorie. Always enjoyed visiting with Keith and Marjorie growing up. With deepest sympathy!
Sympathy and prayers to all of the family! May God bless! Was a good friend of Donna’s and Buster.
My Sympathy at the loss of a beautiful woman whom I always enjoyed visiting with. Remember Cherry Lake club when my husband was alive and we lived and he worked for Ralph Leichtman. Then after he passed, I moved to Mchenry and I became a member of St Peter & Paul Catholic Church and got to see them and some of you all. I think some of you made your First Communion with some of my children. May She Rest In Peace and God Bless you All.
Our deepest sympathy. Sympathy and prayers for the family.
