16 Jul 11 - 11:55 AM (#3188800) Subject: RE: Marg Osburne From: Beer I find it hard to believe that she was only 49. Bobad, good find but hard to follow up as there are no lyrics shown. Here are a few lines that I remember. maybe a word or two not correct. "Darlene, Darlene, In my____ eyes your a Queen. I'm sorry for Larry, Ton, Dick and Harry. For they never will Mary, My darling Darlene. |

I was 20 when Marg died and 49 at that time looked much older than it does looking back from the perspective of 64 today. Quoting Johnny Cash: "Time Changes Everything!" |
