Jim, Cathy, and families,
I'm so very sorry to hear of Mag's passing. To know her was to love her. I have fond memories of card games at Dorothy's with Mag and my mom. These fun loving women will always be forever in my heart.
God Bless you for always watching over her. I know she thought the world of you.
