Margie began creating poems specific to every loss, but was most driven to memorialize children whose lives had barely begun, in her attempt to reach out to their grieving families. She has written poems describing, in detail, raw emotions people experience throughout the grieving process. The finality of passing from this life has inspired her to write “Grief Poetry” that she hopes will offer hope and healing, of which many ask where her insight has come from. Her poems in tribute to fallen military personnel have been selected for publication in professional magazines such as “Leatherneck, Magazine Of The Marines”. Her work can be found at Praise and Worship.com as well as on a memorial wall, dedicated to her poetry, at DeVargas Funeral Home. Her poems have been solicited throughout the US and Australia for use in eulogies, church bulletins, and memorials. She has self-published booklets titled Into The Light, The Journey Home, Lean On Me, and Come Home To Me. It has long been her desire to professionally publish her favorite, most solicited work, and has fittingly titled that book Quiet Moments.view less
