Dear Julie, Carol, Joe, Kathy, Roseanne and family,
We are so sorry to learn of auntie Margie's passing away. While at BU grad school with Julie and Abby, I loved her occasional presence and warmth and her delicious treats, she was my mama too,and I always felt welcome. Her big smile and laughing eyes remind me so much of you, Julie, and vice-versa.I was so happy our moms were great friends, they're keeping each other company now (probably playing bridge). Yasmine will miss teta, and we cherish her wonderful memory.
Love you all, Ann-Murray, Jay, Yasmine

I'm sorry to hear this sad news. I have fond memories of your mother, father and all of you. My world grew larger because I met you and I only met you, because of her. Her intelligence, warm hospitality and sense of humor are what I remember best. I have a special memory of her that is mine alone. I was helping her prepare for a special event when your parents were living in Austin. I think was a gubernatorial inaugural ball. It was a formal event and she was elegantly dressed and wearing her beautiful jewels. What a lady! I also remember a birthday party at a restaurant with my mother, your parents and our boys when they were young. We ALL wore silly hats and had a great time. She always put everyone at ease and brightened the mood of those around her. I will cherish these memories of the smiles we shared. Sending you love and deepest sympathy.

We send our deepest condolences to the family in this time of grief. Aunt Margie was our go-to for family history and she could always explain how the large extended family was connected. She had a strong sense of self and a deep love for her family. She was so proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved bringing family together and it was evident in the countless Lebanese meals she served and the gatherings she hosted over the years. She will remain in our hearts, and you will remain in our prayers for comfort and peace.
With our sympathy,
Janet and Doug Taborn
