Clyde,  We were so sorry to hear about Margie’s passing.  I am also a graduate of Lancaster General Hospital(1964).  Margie graduated the year I was born.  Rosie called us here in Kansas City. I am Fred’s sister.  May the love of our Lord surround you in your grieving and His peace be with you daily.   Sandy and Bob Coleman

Cousin Margie was a classy lady that was not a sissy.  She dared to do things that most people wouldn’t try.  She is a my hero for her service in WWII.  I thank her for that service.  I am so thankful that we got to Lancaster to be able to see her for the last time. She will be missed here on earth but I know there are a lot of angels in heaven rejoycing in heaven.  Bob feels the same as me andenjoyed  the chance to meet her at our family reunion.
Dr. Robert and Joyce Holbein-Pinder
