Thanks for a lifetime of memories. When growing up you were always our favorite babysitter. You played baseball on Sunday afternoons with us. When I moved to Madison, I was always welcomed at your home and dinner table. You helped me shop for my wedding dress. I especially remember all the Euchre and 500 card games we played against Jim and Uncle Phil. Rest in peace my special Aunt Margie. Vonn
