I have been rereading many of the EMR Pulses which Margaret edited for so many years. My husband is scanning all of them for his EMR website. They bring back so many memories of Margaret's contributions to a happy workplace. She will never be forgotten.

Margaret was my Forest Pines neighbor for 25 years but I didn't know her well until I became her real estate agent a year ago. I know it was a great relief to her to have her place sold. She was a great lady and will be truly missed.

The world has lost a very special lady. Margaret was to the end, a kind and giving friend who always put others first. She never once complained during the course of her illness. I will miss her grace and sense of humor. I am so blessed for having known her.

I first met Margaret in April of 1973 when I wandered into her office at EMR Telemetry. Margaret wouldn't let me go and insisted that I come to work for her company.... I'm still there today!
I'm deeply sorrowed by Maragaret's passing.
