A few days ago, Marge Ingram died.
We had not seen Marge for some years. We will remember her for her godliness — a true Christian lady.
Marge was married to Ross Ingram, Jill’s pastor and preaching mentor. My wife grew up with their kids. Marge kept an immaculate house and passed on a real sense of what is proper. Fashionable in the good sense would be the way I would characterize Marge.
Ross was officiating minister at our wedding. Suffice it to say, for Ross the balance of his wife made them a welcome and welcoming couple. Where Ross could be a little mischievious, Marge could keep order and propriety. The last few years Ross had cared for Marge as only a devoted husband can — her memory and even some basic abilities were gone.
Truly we can say, “rest in peace.”
