Carri Toivanen I’ll always remember and cherish how Marge welcomed me warmly into the Legge family, and into her home, and every conversation and special occasion since. Whip smart and always ready to chat or laugh, I’ll miss her very much. Her spirit carries on in the spirit of all her family. She truly was a Grand Ma.

Travis Edgar Mashed potatoes. She put me in charge of mashed portatoes. I always worked as hard as I could to make those potatoes just as she liked them. No lumps.
I will never make mashed potatoes for anyone who loved them as much as she did. I will always think of her when I make mashed potatoes.

Tom Legge Diane, Phil and Pamela; My deepest condolences for the loss of Auntie Marg. Such a wonderful woman I always loved our trips to Lethbridge when we were kids visiting all our Aunties and Uncles and cousins. I always remember Auntie Marg was so bright and happy with a smile on her face all the time. As a youngster I remember listening to her British accent which I found quite strange . I can imagine seeing those parents of ours playing cards arguing and laughing up in heaven with the rest of the Legge clan. RIP Auntie Marg. Love Tom ( Tommy) Legge and family. Parksville BC.
Always with us.
