Margaret was my neighbor at the Marine Drive Apartments. I will surely miss her grace and dignity.
I know that I will meet up with her in heaven, and that her family are in my prayers.

Mrs. Dunn was a wonderful woman who brought smiles to the faces of anyone who came anywhere near her. We will all continue to smile for her forever, as she watches and smiles back from above.

A perfect angel

Great Aunt Margaret was the embodiment of joie de verve! We will always treasure her positive outlook, kindness, sweetness, graciousness and adorable sense of humor. The earth has lost an angel and heaven has gained one. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Here is a picture of her from September - what a beautiful, wonderful woman.

Please accept my sympathy in your time of sorrow. I had the good fortune to work with Margaret at Manhardt-Alexander. Margaret entered the work force at the young age of 70 something but fit into the work force easily. I was 23, when I met Margaret, but often chose her as a lunch buddy because she was so full of life and wisdom. She not only tolerated my boring conversations but listened. I don't remember Margaret ever saying an unkind word about anyone. I do remember Margaret beaming with pride and glowing with love when she spoke of her family. She improved every atmosphere with her gentle nature, quick wit,and grace. She was a perfectionist with impeccable character and blest everyone who knew her. She also could tell a good story and valued her friends. I will miss the annual Christmas card (complete with travel plans and catch up tales)but most of all I will miss Margaret.

I think all of us who knew her will agree...she was one of God's best ideas...

We are thinking of you,
with love from Deb and Kara and Robert
