My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Drake & Moegle family.

Margaret was very special to me and I will miss her so much. She was extremely happy when Ken and I got married because of the spark I put in his eyes. She welcomed me into her family with open arms.

Margaret loved to entertain and have dinner parties. You could always count on the table being set with her best linens, china & glassware. I couldn't believe the food she would prepare and the desserts. Yum! Yum!...

Margaret was married to my Dad, Fred Moegle for 16 years. They had a wonderful life together in Forest Lake and enjoyed their annual snow birding to AZ or FL for many years. Margaret took great care of my Dad throughout his illness and stayed by his side right to the end. I have great memories of Margaret. She was a very intelligent, witty,kind, giving person who loved lighthouses, hot air balloon rides, flowers, angels, and teaching. She loved the ocean too and always jokingly told me...
