Midge was a caring, selfless person who always put the needs of others before herself. She will forever be remembered for her love of gardening, a good rummage sale and anything sweet. We will also remember her sense of humor and love of music, especially when a good, upbeat tune came on the radio. We're sure that your arthritis is long gone, and you're bopping to the music up in heaven with our Lord! We love you Mummsy!
