Mary Lee,
I feel so fortunate to have known your Mom and benefitted from her wisdom when raising our young children (now 21 and 23 years old). Her calm and gracious demeanor were inspirational ... her knowlege so invaluable. You and she provided a great service to so families. My daughter still talks about "the big back yard" and how she loved it. Margaret will be greatly missed but leaves a wonderful legacy.
With love and sympathy,
Mindy Thomas

Mary Lee,
We’re sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. We will always remember the things she and you taught us from the time we spent at the LaCresta Foundation and personally with you. May God and peace be with you during this difficult time.

Mary Lou, I have thought of you and your mother often since moving from Bakersfield to Visalia. I remember standing back in awe while watching your mother work wonders with children and families. She will truly be missed.

I knew Margaret by attending her groups for mothers at her home weekly. She provided us all with such great knowledge and the tools we needed to be the best mothers we could be. Sad to hear of her passing.

Margaret was such a sweet and dynamic woman. I met her through her participation in the local French Club. I was very sad to read about her passing away. May she be in a better place.

I'm so sorry to learn of your mother's death. She was a lovely woman with a big heart. I feel very fortunate that she was part of my life--particularly in my early years. Those were wonderful times. Janet (Hilton) Milliken

Margaret chose to live a significant life, one that made a difference in so many of our lives. Her intellectual curiosity, generosity of spirit, and commitment to young mothers and children all combined to touch and bless those of us who needed her or wanted to join her in ways much smaller than her contributions. She's a role model too, proving that age is no excuse for quitting on yourself or helping others. When I grow up I want to be like her and Joe. Neil Koenig

Maragaret was an amazing woman; a pioneer in child development, a warm and giving friend and mentor. She has affected so many children and their families and it cannot be be counted all the good that she did. I will miss her.
To Mary Lee, I am so sorry for your loss. With Love, Sue Granger-Dickson

Mary Lee, Tim & families,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Margaret was a true 'saint' as well as a wonderful educator. I learned so much from the La Cresta Foundation. You all were blessed to have Margaret in your lives for so long. I am certain that she and Joe are having a ball 'catching up'.
