My dear friend Margaret,
I cannot believe that almost a whole year has gone by. It has been a very difficult one that is for sure. So many things remind me of you. Every hot dog stand I pass, bags of Lays potatoe chips, the giant staws from 7-11. The memories we made each day keep me smiling. Keeping in contact with your family really helps me. Abigail, Eddie and Nora are wonderful. Growing so fast. Seeing them running around and playing with each other is just the best. I treasure the friendship I have with Mimi and Simone. We all miss you terribly. You are always in our thoughts. You are the best Margaret and I will never forget you and our friendship. I miss that the most. We sure did laugh alot. Love you, Rosie

Our Mother our Friend.
This has been a difficult 5 months for all of who knew and loved Margaret. After all if you know her you love her... I love her so much. Many times I have come to sit in front of this guest book and the tears just stream down my face. The lump in my neck is hard to swallow. There are so many things that are new that I would love to tell Margaret but some how I feel that she already knows. Like the fact that Abbey now eats mashed potatoes. Nana was determined for her to be a meat and potatoe kid. And some how I feel like she already knows.
The Holidays have been I think a unexplainable jumbled mix of emotions. All of us being together as a family has made this holiday and I am sure future holidays ok. Again I felt the entire time we were together some how MOM was there. Helping us to get dinner done and on the table. Her presence is all about even if it is a time when she would have nomally been there I feel her there. I often talk out loud to her and believe that she can hear me. Sometimes I come into the room and little Eddie will be looking up at the ceiling. When I ask him what he is doing he says he is talking to Nana.
When ever Abigail gets upset she sits on my lap and holds my ladybug charm on my necklace rocks back and forth and says :NANA, NANA.
Many times we will be some where and they both will say nana is here or nana was here. I do not know what brings them to say this but I am glad she is with us.
Margaret will always be with us. Every cup of Coffee, every bag of chips, every package of peanut butter cheese crackers, every story read, every play that we see, every movie seen at the movies, every mid after noon phone call, every meal, every b.b.q. , every lunchtime run for the birthday club, every plant watered and cared for, Every new thing that we want to share with her and everything that we have ever shared with Margaret we still share with Margaret. She will always be with us watching us and loving us.

Happy New Year in Heaven Margaret. It's hasn't been an easy 5 months that is for sure. I found a poem which means alot to me and I should have written to you awhile back.
A light is from our household gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled.
We have to mourn the loss of one
We did our best to save. Beloved on earth, regretted still, Remembered in the grave.
Twas hard to part with one so dear, We little thought the time was near Farewell, dear one, your life is past, Our love for you till the end will last.
This is something I should have said to you in the beginning. People keep telling me to move on, and they just don't seem to understand. I will never forget our friendship and how you and I would chat about all sorts of things, knowing it wouldn't go any further. I miss you so my dear friend and in my heart you always will be. With much love, Rosie

Merry Christmas my pal. We had a really nice office Christmas Party yesterday and I thought of you all day. I sure wish you were here with us. You never seem to be out of my thoughts. Nora is cute as a button. She isn't walking yet but it won't be long now. Your home looks beautiful. Eddie did a great job. I think Noreen is glad to be settled. She was really bouncing back and forth there between Margaret's and Eddie's for awhile. Abigail is reading, you would be so proud of her. Little man is so cute. We are supposed to go see the Brite Lites at the park sometime this week. Well I just wanted to chat. Miss you terribly, especially at this time of the year. I keep finding things that you have given me over the years and I treasure them all. Love you always and I hope you are resting in peace. Merry Christmas Margaret.

Good Morning Margaret, I just wanted to say hi and to tell you how nice your plaque looks at the park and your headstone is beautiful. They were both put up on Halloween. Simone had finally ran into the lady at the park and inquired about the plaque which hadn't been put up yet and a month had already passed. She told Simone it would be put up on Friday and low and behold it was. We had a good time at Eddie's birthday but your absence is heartwrenching. Then I was invited to go trick or treating and what a blast. I don't know if I told you but Donna and Joe are having another baby girl. She looks great. The house on Thunder Rd is almost ready for the gang to move in. It looks great, you would be so proud of Eddie. I know how you had told me you didn't know how Eddie was going to get along without you when you got sick, which I remember yelling at you because I said you weren't going anywhere, but when I look back I am thinking you knew more than you were telling me. At least we got to spend some quiet moments together before you left. I treasure every minute of those last days together. You are missed so much. It is still such a shock but our love for each other helps tremedously. I will come and see you tomorrow. Much love and hugs to you, my pal. I love you, Love Rosie

Good day my dear friend. We celebrated Nora's first birthday on Sunday and it was so lovely. She is such a sweetie, but you already knew that. When I saw your car pull up at Margaret's I got so excited because for a quick moment I thought it was you and then reality and some tears set in. This still all seems so unreal to me. I miss you so very much. Your family is so wonderful and loving. Abigail is getting so big and your little man is growing so fast. He did #1 and 2 on the potty at Margarets and we were all clapping and cheering. It was quite hysterical. I came to visit you earlier today so that I could bring you a birthday hat to celebrate Noras day. Your headstone is finished so we should be seeing that soon. Nothing much else to report. Same old nonsense going on here. I am babysitting for Nora again, Margaret and Brian have a wedding to go to. I love watching her, she is so precious. Love you pal!!!!!!

Happy Birthday in Heaven my dear friend. We are planning to have a tree planted in your memory today at the park. I miss you with each and every passing minute. I babysat for Nora this past weekend. You were right, she is so much fun and such a good baby. I love it when she belly laughs. It made me feel very close to you being there. Margaret gave me a lovely picture of you and the kids to bring home. We all miss you dearly Margaret and wish you were still here with us. Have a wonderful day in Heaven. I will come and visit you later. Love you with all my heart, Rosie.

Hi pal, Well for the first time since you passed I went to the Hot Dog Stand for lunch. Big mistake, I thought it would be fine but I was so wrong. I cried my eyes out the whole time I was trying to eat. It just wasn't the same without you. I don't think I will ever do that again. Then I went to call you the other day at work and your message is no longer on the phone. It says vacant and that just really upset me. I did record your message awhile ago so that I will always have your voice to listen to and this way I can give it to Simone. She also called you daily. I miss you so much it hurts. People say time heals all wounds. BULL!!!! Hopefully we will soon be planting your tree at the park. I love you Margaret and miss you so very much. Until we meet again, Love your pal, Rosie

Hello Margaret. A friend of mine who lost her son uses this guest book to speak to him so I am going to do the same. Not a minute goes by that I do not think of you and how much I miss your friendship. Terry and I still get up to go over to your cubby to complain as we did so often during the day, but we have to keep reminding ourselves that you aren't goint to be there. Simone and Eddie invited me to go to the carnival with them and the kids. Simone's neice, Noreen, Donna, Joe, Alexa and Emma were there too. Emma is such a little spitfire, she cracks me up. Abigail won a gold fish. Little Eddie wasn't to crazy about the rides but he did go on a few. I had a real nice time. I really miss our daily chats and lunch outings, work is just unbearable without you. It doesn't seem to get better with time. Simone and I call you everyday and listen to your voicemail message. I love the part when you say if this is an emergency and only if this is an emergency you may call the secretary. You always looked out for me and I wil always appreciate you for that. I know you are now at peace forever safely home in heaven. Wow did that come from me. Who knew? Until we meet again. Forever your friend, Rosie.

I was very sad to learn that she passed on.
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER BEAUTIFUL SMILE. She was caring, helpful, and very much devoted to her family. She loved you all so much.
She had a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss her.

My deepest sympathies, to Margaret, Edward and Jimmy, on the loss of their wonderful mother. To the grandchildren, Abigail, Eddie and Nora...know how very much your grandmother adored you, how you were truly the apples of her exquisite blue eyes. I had the good fortune to work with Margaret for the past 11 years, where she gave her heart and soul to helping others, on a daily basis. Margaret's knowledge & compassion was extraordinary. In getting to know each other, Margaret and I discovered we lived in the same neighborhood, growing up in NYC. We may have shared a reading table in the Webster library with it's imposing columns and quiet darkness, or stood in line (before lines were fashionable) for Orwasher's bread together, or cooled off on a steamy day in the John Jay pool. All places still stand, in an ever changing and great city as New York.
My heart breaks to think we can't exchange stories of those days but the stories I love & cherish the most, are Margaret's of her grandchildren. Indeed, a unique and remarkable woman who was taken from us all too soon. I will miss Margaret always .

No words can describe how I feel about the loss of my friend Margaret. My memories of her are priceless. When we worked together she was my buddy. We were in contact with each other since my moving to Florida. I spoke with her by phone and always tried to make it a point to either see her or speak to her when I was back on Long Island. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers go out to her children, Margaret, Eddie and Jimmy and their families.

Margaret was a dear friend of mine and I am absolutely heartbroken. I will miss her dearly. I will miss all of our lunch outings especially the trips to the hot dog stand and the park. She was such a wonderful person, so strong, smart, loving and took no nonsense from anyone. She was the best and I loved her so. With much love, Rosie.

What can I do?
What can I say?
How can I erase this pain away?
I can celebrate the memories
I can reflect on the past,
I can be so grateful to have known Margaret
I can make her memory last.
I can remember her laugh,
I can remember her cry.
I can remember her loyalty
I will remember this why?
Cause Margaret was a woman
Above all the rest
She was always on a mission
She ALWAYS did her best.
It didn't matter the task
It didn't matter the day
When Margaret was on it
She got it done her way.
If the day wasn't great or there was a bump in the road,
You knew Margaret would step up and carry the load.
If you wanted a smile from Margaret or you needed some joy
Three names would pop up, two little girls and her boy.
All you needed to say was Abigail, Eddie or Nora
The day became awesome, the bumps disappeared.
Margaret's cubby was filled with nothing but pride and good cheer.
Not to short change all the rest of her clan
But being Nana Walsh was number one in her plan.
She had a grandchild story for every moment of the day
Just the mention of the names, all the stress went away
I do remember the time it was stories about two little boys and a girl
And the pride was the same and the stories would whirl
From the mouth of a proud mother the stories would flow
About her three devoted children and watching them grow
Into the wonderful adults they have all become today
Margaret treasured each and every memory they made in every way
I cannot forget the Friday Night Diner stories about family and friends
It became a Monday morning ritual a good time we would spend
Discussing the menu, the service the food
Something someone did that put us all in a good mood.
Margaret I know you will be watching down from above
You will send down every blessing to all you have loved.
You will keep them all safe, you will watch them all grow
I only know this cause that is the Margaret I know.

I am sorry and very sad to hear that Margaret has passed on. She was a wonderful person and good friend to me. I have not been in contact with Margaret since moving to Florida, but I often think of her. I don't know the circumstances of her death, but I am shocked. We were co-workers and we spent a lot of time together during our children's teen years. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
