Marge became a beautician and owned two of her own businesses. Marge got up every morning like clockwork and made Alfred lunch and breakfast for the day. He would smell of aftershave, they would kiss goodbye at the front door. Marge spoke her mind and people loved her honesty and support. She loved her pets a little too much some family would say, they were her fur babies and brought her much joy in her final days. She loved to garden it brought her so much pleasure she would be in the yard for hours. She created and cared for a Koi pond in the back yard and she loved caring for her fish.
