I remember visiting Marg and George and their son Larry in Winnipeg with my parents in the early 1970's. I will always remember Marg's infectious laugh, her gigantic old "boat" of a car and her warmth and wonderful sense of humour. She and my mom were great friends and I can only say that she left us with warm and happy memories - what could be better than that?!! Sincere condolences for your loss. - Posted by: LYNN BERGIN (FRIEND) on: Dec 09, 2012
