Margot was a very dear friend to me for many , many years. we enjoyed many hours of conversation about everything. she loved her family very much. I think of her often and i will truely miss her and look forward to seeing her again someday, and being a friend forever.
I loved her and had a hard time dealing with what she was going thru. I prayed for her often and that God would help her go thru what she was dealing with.


A friend,
