It was a joy to be with Marge during my vicarage time in Ludington. A True soldier of the cross and a great speaker for the LWML. Blessings to the family.

We so loved Margie and Pastor Gallert. We served with them for a time at St. John, Ionia in the 70's. They were a perfect pastor and wife combination and wonderful Christian role models to all. God bless all the family. Dr. Gary and Carol

Roger, Paul, Beeper and Lynnette, I wish I could be there with you all. Aunt Margie was always loving, fair and kind. Sue used to say she got the best godmother, and she did. So many wonderful memories you'll have with her. Hugs to you all and prayers for your comfort. Love you all much Shelly
