I knew Margaret professionally as well as personally and she was always a breath of fresh air to everyone around her. I first met her many years ago at a networking event and we became fast friends. We reconnected last October after not seeing each other for a long while. We attended networking events together and always had people riveted by her knowledge of her industry and with her beauty both inside and out! She had the greatest stories about New Mexico growing up and her beautiful children.
She will be missed! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family during this time.

I knew Margaret from my summers in CBad when I stayed with my grandparents, Joe and Alyce Willis. Margaret, my cousin and I sold rocks and pictures we made from my granparents' porch and made the front page of the paper. I will never forget that time in our lives and hope moments like that are what everyone can hold on to. I hope the holidays bring an opportunity to recall happy memories for your family.

Words can't express how sad I feel for Margaret's family. I'm sure she will be a great angel in heaven, just as she was an angel on earth to all who knew her. She was one of the happiest people I've ever known - truly a good soul, and she will be so incredibly missed by those of us who had the wonderful opportunity to work with her.

Dear Jeremey, Family and Friends,
We are so saddened by the loss of Margaret in all our lives as she was such a bright star in a world full of many who only provide darkness.  Mags had a spirit that would light up a room and made my first and last days with Pegasus so much easier.
We can only hope that time and the great memories you hold will help ease the pain and make the day to day easier to handle for you and the children.  
Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always...

I had the opportunity to get to know Margaret at ENMU when she and Frank were sharing an apartment their senior year. She was definitely full of life and such a sweetheart. She meant so much to Frank too. This is so hard to think about the loss of both of them. In addition I feel for you and those two precious children. God bless and comfort you in your loss. Know that there are friends everywhere who share in your grief and wish the very best for you in the days to come.

I knew she was special the day I met her. She was outstanding in every way and it was a pleasure to be a sort of mentor to her. The student long ago surpassed the "old master of HR". Her love for her father, mother, Jeremy and the babies was apparent every time you saw her with them. Gene and I will miss her and will be there with Aunt Anne for Jeremy and the babies.

Margaret was a joy to work with, my day was always a happier after taking to her. I can only imagine the tremedous influence she had on her family, and to those much closer to her. When someone so young, happy and uplifting to others is taken from us so early, it can only be becuase there is an immense and immediate role for them at God's side that can't be fulfilled by anyone else. We are all better off for knowing Margaret and will never forget her wonderful smile.
