Marge was an original founder of the Care Group and a Coordinator for the last few years. In her daily walks she ministered to those in need at Paradise. She was always willing to help and we had to tell her to share the help with others becuaw she was so willing. We, as Paradise residents, will miss her dearly. She is in the ereal Paradise now and will look down upon us. The Paradise Care Group is anxiously to have a Memorial for her when we all return to our winter homes. Our Paradise Care Group will not be the same without her.
