"Lisa, Laura and Lance: The program of the wake and Mass were very well done by the pastor and Jef, Bette and Joe and all those in attendance for our sweet Marge. Life will be difficult at times without her on earth...to visit, or call, etc. but knowing what a sweetheart she was makes our memories so much better. She so wanted her children to be loving, kind and helpful to each other without any kind of bagage or whatever else gets in the way of LOVE. That was her simple request. I hope she gets it. Love & Prayers to all, Jeanne"
"Lance and Family, we were so sorry to hear about your mom, she was so special, such a good friend to everyone. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of youi"
"Family of Margie Weber-Lindberg, I offer my sincere condolences. The Webers & Stiefvaters all grew up together in St. Nazianz, I remember the visits to your folk's house just down the street & the years of schooling at St. Greg's fondly. Had I only seen her picture you published, I still would have known it was Margie (as I knew her). To her children, I know how you feel having recently lost my mom & I'll remember you all in my prayers that you will be given strength, courage & peace in the days ahead. To all the Webers...Godspeed. May the gentle laughter from shared memories help to ease your hearts. With sympathy, Aggie"

"Lisa, Laura and Lance, I want to share with you my profoundist sorrow at the loss of dearest Marge. She was a delightful woman, quick to laugh, and would make me feel at home with a big bowl of lutefisk! Probably because her own children wouldn't eat it. It was the best...and so was she. Marge, you are one of the good ones, and I will miss you very much! Love, Doug"

"Laura, Lisa and Lance, I am so sorry for the loss of Marge. She was such a beautiful lady. She always had a smile on her face and such a contagious laugh. I remember going to her house when I was a little girl and she would sit me down on a pile of books and perm my hair. She was always so sweet to me and my siblings. She will be watching down on everyone whose life she touched. She is a true beautiful angel and God is lucky to have her with him now. We will get to say hi and see her again one day. I am sorry I will not be able to make the funeral. I will be there in spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. You will be missed and loved always Marge."

"Marge, your beautiful red hair and infectious smile along with your quick little jokes will be missed!"
"Marge was a wonderful woman, with a passion for live! I will always remember her beautiful smile!"
"You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can open your eyes and pray that she will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your Heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday. You can remember her and only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty, and turn your back, or you can do what she would want: Smile, open your eyes, love, and go on. My thoughts and love are with you all..."
