    Ms. Marjorie will be greatly missed. I remember the wonderful greeting that she gave John, Rebecca and I when we come to visit the first time. Than the many time that she helped me understand the responsibility of a pastors wife.
    She gave me great insight and knowledge of the bible and other things as well.
    May you all have peace and understanding during this time of lost. My thoughts and prayers with you.

    Margie was one tough character, but I mean that is a positive way. I bought land from she and Pharris and Margie was always the one that wanted more detail. She was a great lady and I am glad she was my friend.

    I met Marjorie about 50 years ago and have enjoyed our friendship very much. She was a very talented person and loved sharing her talents. She and her husband, Pharris, raised some wonderful children and you didn't have to talk with her very long to realize that she loved them very much.
