Marge has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. When we first moved to Owenton, her mother used to babysit me. Thru the years became to be an extra aunt to me. She used to invite us to her apartment's pool in the summer so my brother and I could cool off while she visited with Mom. We usually had more than one laugh with each other whenever we were together.
One day Mom and Marge decided to go eat lunch at the Maisonette. There mode of transportation was a TANK bus. If you are going to eat at a five star place, I guess a $350,000 bus is the best way to get there.
Marge rode the bus to and from work. One night she fell asleep on the bus and the driver failed to check the bus properly. When the bus cooled down, Marge awoke to find herself at the bus garage on LLL Highway. I don't think that she was smiling when she found somebody in the office. We had a smile or two when we talked about it over the following years.
I think that the theme song to The Golden Girls TV show sums up Marge for me, "Thank You for being my friend. For traveling up the road and back again..."
