What a beautiful woman, Mrs. Gargas was. I am very sorry to read of your loss. With her accomplishments, her love and joys, she was an amazing woman. I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love, is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is, John 11:25, which says, "Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you, and I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved wife, mother, grandma and friend. Sincerely, Meryl, jw.org - healingwordsforu@gmail.com

On behalf of Amy and our children - Ryan, Sean, Emma and Kate - we would like to express our condolences on the passing of Marge. She was a wonderful woman, and will be sorely missed. It was clear based on the devotion of her husband and children, that she was a great wife and mother. We will keep the entire Gargas family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Marge was a wonderful person. She was kind, considerate and always thought of everyone. She made me feel that I was part of her family once my daughter and her son got married. It was always delightful to see her every July 4th and other occasions during the year. Marge loved her husband, her children and her grand and great grand children. She will be missed by her friends and her family especially her son, Jim as he spent every Saturday with her.

Our sincere sympathy to the Gargas family. Heidi recalls the many exercises classes she attended with Margaret in South Holland. Our daughter Audrey Mitchell went to Thornwood HS. with Mary Lynn. Rest in peace, Margaret.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My family (Lizzie, Henry, Charlotte, I) want to convey our deepest sorrow for your loss. Margaret was a wonderfully kind, devoted mother to her kids/grandkids and to her husband. We had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know her over the past 15 - 20 years. She was very giving and conveyed a happiness that few can match. I want to wish Joe, her children and grandchildren my deepest condolences for their loss. I will be reminded of her smile and warmth which she has carried down to my family (Jim, Meghan and Brian). My thoughts and prayers are with all the Gargas’ during this challenging time.
