Susan Bartels wrote a sympathy message

“To the family of Marge Schwanke Stephan: We are very sorry for your loss. Marge was a wonderful lady. We met many years ago as my family purchased the Schwanke farm from Florence in 1964. We stayed in touch with both Marge and Mel as they came out to visit on occasion. Marge sent us many historical photos of the farm which we still live on. Warm regards and Sympathy, Susan Smith Bartels and Jim Bartels”
