My cousin's Aunt Margaret treated me as if I were also a niece at family shared events and during any other occasions I was able to enjoy time with her. I have memories more than a half a century old of New Year's Days where the families got together. I saw her perhaps once a year or so over the last decade, after years of not seeing her, but it always felt like no time had passed. I admired that she was always ready to go "enjoy" what life brought her way.
May God bless her and all whom she loves. My deepest sympathies...and there will be many happy memories as you celebrate her life.

Aunt Margaret...May the choirs of angels lead you to paradise...as much as we will miss you here...your work is now to watch over us from above and your heaven to be with those who have long awaited your coming. May God hold all of in the palm of His hands.

There are more wonderful memories than I can count going back to before she and Eddie married. She's loved and will be missed by all of us.

I love Margaret dearly. What she has done for the family for so many years means so much to us all. Her work for charity and her devotion to the family have been inspirational. I will also miss her laugh, which I have heard and shared so many times. Her presence in my life has meant so much, and I will miss her more than I can say. For all those she left behind, we have each other, and that means everything. My deepest sympathies to the Sheehan family and everyone they brought into the family.

Reflecting on early memories of my sister, Margaret, I will always remember her generous spirit which continued throughout her life. It is with sadness that Maureen and I are away from the family at this time. We send our heartfelt sympathy.
