    So sorry to hear of Marg’s passing & for all of the heart ache the family has endured.
    Marg was one of the original Tottenham IGA crew. She was always a blessing to us. Never met a more upbeat person. I was looking forward to a visit with her after her surgery was over but that was not to be.
    Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

    Clarence, and family. So heart broken to hear of Marg’s passing. Our 20plus years at the IGA were nothing short of Seinfeld funny. Every day was an episode of fun and experience. The people she knew. The teenagers she trained. The cards we played. Sorry to see her gone. She played her last hand of bid euchre and went to the moon.
