I grew up with the Hatley family at Virginia Street Church of Christ. I have many good memories of time spent together. Mary Lynn and my mother, Maxine White, were good friends. Please accept my sincere condolences and know that you all are in my prayers.

Margie and I lived in the same neighborhood when we were young. We were members of the same church, Virginia Street Church of Christ. She and my brother, Tom, were friends. She was always very sweet and kind to me. She also knew our Aunt Jean at the telephone company. Prayers for her family.

Margie was such a good friend to my sister, Sharon (Merritt). She always had such a beautiful smile and a cute personality. Our family enjoyed her visits with us as much as my sister and I enjoyed our visits to the Hatley home on Sundays after church. My thoughts are with the family during this time of loss.
