Sheffer Family:
I was shocked and saddened to hear about Marge (or Mrs, Sheffer as I still called her to this day!!!)
I will always have fond memories of all of the years that we spent as neighbors on Fern Ave and the extra special touch of the fact that her and my Mother being born on the same day!!!….I especially liked her when she came across the street or sent Curt or Rod over with some of her delicious baked goods!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.

There are no words to express the shock I felt when I read of Marges’ passing. She was such a sweet,and no nonsense kind of lady. Her words of encouragement carried me through when they were needed. She offered unselfishly betterment to her community, and was there to serve when anyone needed a helping hand. I remember listening to her stories (especially re: Dr. Pepper) and sharing in her bellyfull laughs. In the short time I had the pleasure of knowing her, she was such an inspiration to me and an amazing woman! I am so sorry for your loss! You and your family continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. While we have lost an amazing woman, Heaven has gained an Awesome Angel.
I am deeply sorry and shocked for your loss.
Mr. Sheffer, I had no idea your wife had passed. I pray God will be with you and give you peace. While death seems like the end, if you believe in Jesus Christ, he will forgive you and forgive your sins. You gave me a swat once and I deserved it. I got two at home. They helped shape me in my life. I became a 2LT in the Army retiring as a Colonel (06) Thank you for maintaining a standard! Diana Vogus, Rocky Grove Elementary School.
