Memories and Condolences
for Margaret Wood

Not sure what to say?





I only just now learned of the passing of my 'second Mom' Peg Wood. She was my first boss at Commonwealth and a lifelong friend of my Mother and taught me how to be a professional in the workforce. She spent many years tagging around with my Mom and I would try to see her on my visits back to Jackson. I was hoping to do that again next year, but I guess she decided it was time to join a few of her friends, family and Woody on the other side. She was the best of the best and I will miss her signature smile and laugh forever. Sincerest condolences her beautiful kids who she never tired of talking about - she was very proud of all of you and your accomplishments.

Tim and Family
I knew your Mom from my days at Commonwealth and of course through our connection at St John's. She was one of those "grand" ladies that I will never forget. Love and Prayers

She was one of my favorite people from my days at Commonwealth. Every year we would travel up to the U.P. for the POR car rally. She would ride with us up there to visit I believe it was a daughter. One time on the way back, all the rally team members were to tried to drive so she drove a couple of hours for us.

Always had a smile.

Mary- I just want to say how sorry I am for the death of your mom. My sister, Cathy, was there to greet her when she went into heaven. My thoughts are with you.
