My heart is sad. Margaret and Roy have been life long family members. The best of times were the Easter celebrations at the Hunting Camp. It always brought a smile to my Grandma Minton's face when we would join them.
Margaret will be greatly missed by all.

Our deepest sympathy goes to LeRoy, Debbie and Family. We enjoyed meeting Margaret at the post office after she retired. We had some good conversations. She will be greatly missed. Ron & Dennis Meehan of Meehan Stationery.

Margaret Foster was my email friend. I live in King N.C.
We emailed back and forth for many years. According to the information from my Mom and Aunt, from whom I obtained her email address, who are from the Foster family, I'm a third cousin. Margaret and I used to joke about it. Something like 'we are cousin-in-laws.'
She will be missed by me.
