    Our prayers are with the family. Midge was a wonderful and spirited woman who loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart. I came to know Midge through Betsy Lowery, my very best friend. I (Henrietta) worked briefly with Karen at the Kennedy School and being Midge’s daughter, Karen was very friendly and outgoing. Midge will be dearly missed by many people.

    I was saddened to read of the passing of your Mom. I was glad to have her friendship so many years ago when we both were raising our children. Those were fun times and yes, nice memories. Your recent months have been difficult, and for that I am sorry.
