Margaret was kind to everyone she meet, she cared about everyone and everything. I don't believe she ever meet a stranger. She knew where her proiritiy lay. She did things with her own special touch of love. She was talented beyond belief and had energy to get many project done at the same time. Her knowledge was always shared and she treated everyone with an honorable respect. She wore a glow of distinction. She was so proud of her family and was always making something for them. I am honored to have known and loved such a remarkable woman as a friend and a sister, she will be sadly missed as a promonate member of the Bristol ward for such a long time.

So sorry for your loss. Margaret was one of the most caring, generous people I have ever known. She touched the life of me and my family in so many ways over the years. From seminary teacher to caring friend, she was always there, always trying to help and support others. We were so blessed to have known her and witnessed a part of her life. God bless you all.
