Dad waited 16 years to see this face smile again.
I will always miss you and love you best! Your strength was amazing and I will try to become as strong as you were.. You were definitely an inspiration and then definitely a force to contend with.
Miss you loads and I'll call you when I get home......

Marge was a wonderful friend and fellow employee Her reliability and loyalty to her family, faith and friends was a tower of strength to us all. Two years ago my daughter Jennifer married. In one of the clothes drawers was a small package that Marge had given Jennifer when she was baptized 30 years prior. It was a hand made scarf that Jennifer wore at her baptism and the instructions were for Jennifer to wear at her wedding. Which she did. It brought tears by my spouse, Carol's and my eyes. She will always be remembered.
Steven F Skolaski Our Prayers to the Zimmerlee Family. May God Be With Marge.
