My sympathy, condolences to all the family. I'll always think of Margaret on her porch, at the block party, at the polling place, and the wise conversations--she seemed to know everyone--the guardian angel of the neighborhood. I'll miss her yet am glad she left junior angels here on Pensacola Av. Also sorry to have missed her wake and services.

My sympathy and condolences to the family. It is never a good time to lose someone you love, but the holidays makes it that much harder. She was such a sweet and kind soul. Please know she is in a better place. My thoughts are with all of you.

There was never a better Mother-in-law.

She always remembered everyone's birthday and always made it an extra special day.

It was my joy to have known her for 31 years. I am richer for this opportunity.

I will miss her joy, faith and humor.
