Although it's been a few years since I last saw her, Margo and I worked together in the early to mid 90's and she was a wonderful, dear friend full of energy and a zest for life. I will miss her dearly but I will always hold close my memories of her.

Margo and I were friends in grade school and high school and although I remember wonderful times with her growing up, I regret not having seen her in recent years. She was a wonderful, caring, and compassionate person, full of life and energy. Her spirit lives on. I was so sad to her of her passing.
My condolences to all those she left behind. Her memories will be kept close to your hearts.

My daughter, Sabrina, is friends with Melanie. I would run into Margo at basketball games and school and we would bump into each other around town.
She was such a kind woman.

I was very fortunate to have Margo as a dear friend in high school. I have so many fond and funny memories of the time that we spent together. Margo really was the life of the party and just such an incredibly nice person. My thoughts and prayers are with her mom and family.

While I never got to really know Margo outside of meeting her briefly, I learned of her caring nature from Dan Caruso. I know that she has now found comfort in God's Eternal Love and pray that her Family can find comfort in fond memories of their times with her love. She shall be watching over you forever.

I haven't seen much of Margo since High School but she is one of those people who once you knew her always stuck with you as her personality was larger than life. I remember her Janice Joplin poster on her bedroom wall and her blasting her music dancing. Just know that she touched so many peoples lives in big and small ways. Your familes are in my thoughts and prayers and I just know she is blasting her music and dancing right now.

Margo was one of the smartest people I have ever worked with. She could get things done in a rapidly changing enviroment when others couldn't see the way. She loved her family and she loved people. I anm very lucky that our paths crossed.. Alan Springer Little Rock, AR

Please accept my sympathy in your loss. I too worked with Margo via e-mail and phone for years. She was wonderful to work with and will be greatly missed.

It wasn't long after I started with The Hartford in 1995, that I knew who the "go to" person was. If you wanted to get it done, just call Margo :). She was a friend I never got a chance to meet, but knew she would be there if needed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

Mrs. Raimondi, Derrick, Tyler and Melanie, Margo and I corresponded via email for years. I wish I had kept them and I would share (edited versions) with you so that you could read what she wrote about all of you. Mrs. Raimondi - she told me about the time that you and Margo went to one of Derrick's competition and that you went to a restaurant and the two of you were the belles of the ball. Margo said, "My mother is in her eighties and she's still got it." Margo told me about going to the library with Derrick, Tyler and Melanie and reading books and putting their own story lines in it. She would grab you kids at the drop of a hat and take you and some of your friends and go to the beach or the lake. All of her stories of her family were always about the love, laughter and strength that you shared. Now you will need to draw on that to continue Margo's legacy. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
