Larry and all,

My eyes are full of tears as I read this and respond.  It is because it is so right to celebrate Marge’s life and passing in this way.
It has been a privilege to be around Marge, Ken and Deana and more occasionally others of your family during the past few years as I live in Austin.  All of you have shown full caring love.
Marge was always special and never more so than while coming up with off the wall and accurate comments during her dementia.
She will be missed.
Grace and Peace.
Love and Light,
Mary hampton

Marge Philbrook's life is complete. 
 After our Dad died in January a male cardinal appeared on the snow covered branch of a tree out the window.  So we decided he must have been checking on us. Now 20 years later, two cardinals showed up on the branch of the tree outside Marge's bedroom in Austin on Saturday.  Cardinals mate for life.  The lady cardinal landed first, then her mate.  That was when we knew it was Marge's time to make her exit.
 So Tuesday morning. . . Marge completed her life. We had decided to have a Rite of Passing.  Deana called Paula @ 8:11 and by 8:45, 25 people were on the zoom call set up by Lloyd.  We had done a similar thing around Dad's hospital bed.  We shared - songs,- thanked her for her gifts she had given us, shared prayers. Deana & Kenneth were in Marge's room so we could all see her & her spirit could hear us.
 We are planning a virtual Memorial on June 10th her 92nd birthday.  We will share the link if you want to join us.
 All suggestions or input are welcome.  You can send suggestions to any one of us and/or to  margephilbrook2020 at gmail.com     We wish to thank everyone who sent quotes, pictures and recordings and welcome any others to continue to be sent so we can use them in the memorial to the email above or if large files or videos to this directory https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqdIShKmWL8kg4ltJdhQpep4-c1lhA?e=TtYWaR
