Marge, I have missed so many other significant birthday celebrations of our mutual friends and colleagues, and I regret these omissions and opportunities to remember the good that each of them has manifested in the course of their lives and commitment to the journey of those who have benefited each other as Order:Ecumenical sisters and brothers. You have in a very unassuming manner chosen to put your life into the more recent preservation of community in the Order at 4750 N. Sheridan Rd., and as well, deeply into the task of sorting, saving, recording its journey involving people coming and going, their lives lived and died, who as committed families, joined together in many geographies to accomplish the various programs and projects of the Order and Institutes. As a symbol of women and men, their families and children, you in your 85th year are a reminder of the gratitude we all have for our varied experience in our life together within a mission of loving God and serving the world. This birthday of yours and the sustained engagement of your family is a gift to celebrate! Charles Al Lingo clingojr@aol.com
Dear Marge - Thank you for your continuous faithful work on behalf of the future, your unique care for your wonderful family & colleagues, and your unique care for the Order & its legacy. I have occasionally fit into some of those categories myself, and appreciated your care, from significant conversations to fresh veggies during my fresh food diet plan a few years ago. You have always welcomed the most socially awkward of us to participate right along with family, and that is a gift, a skill, and a mark of your great spirit. In my book, you are most definitely "the greatest!!!!!!!" We celebrate your being here with being itself in history! Happy birthday! With love & respect, Nancy Trask
