To the Booker Family,

I just heard of Margaretta's passing today. I worked with her at Virginia Orthopedic Associates and loved her dearly. She was feisty and shot from the hip and I loved that about her. She was one of my favorite people in the world. Please accept my sympathy. She's with the Lord now and beginning her new journey of peace.
