It was with a sad heart to learn of the passing of Margaret Bodi. I was blessed to meet her as a parent of a dear friend Sue. Marge always greeted us with fresh cookies and several questions. “Oh Susie” became the trademark saying amongst the Denny’s gang. After Bill and Sue married and joined the Army I was working with Marge at Western Publishing and she kept me informed of Sue in the state of Washington and I can still see her face when she announced the birth of Toni. Today I am very lucky to still have Sue as friend and love the fact we are great friends.
