Margi was my mother’s best friend! My mother, Janie Hall, predeceased her by many years. I grew up with Roy and Wayne and will probably try and track them down now. The two of them, Mom and Margi, golfed at Bel Acres and in many other places. I’m currently going through boxes of pictures of my Moms and and finding envelope after envelope of golf courses. And a few pictures of the two of them😊. Unfortunately I did not inherit my mothers passion for golf, and they all look the same to me.. I moved to California when I married my first husband 36 years ago. I remember so many times with Margi and the boys. We used to go camping out to Falcon Lake. Played bridge at my house. I just found a picture of Roy, Wayne, and my brother-in-law Ray and I playing bridge in our house on Olive Street. I hope she had a wonderful life! I know my mom died way too soon! I had just started to try and track down boys when I saw Margi’s obituary. I’ve been gone for a long time but as soon as I saw her name the love I felt for her came back. It had never gone away, just went to sleep for awhile. Just like she has in the arms of the Lord.. I loved her and the boys dearly!
