Dear Emily and Rene,
We are sorry to lose our lovely Margaret. She has had a special place in our hearts ever since our two young families shared an old home on the west side of Provo while their daddies attended BYU. Margaret, our Raychelle, and baby Forrest were our communal children. We loved meeting Margaret again and again at some family gathering. Always a bright smile and her radiant spirit of love. Heaven is all the brighter for her. The Lord bless and keep you, and give you peace.

Margaret was a year older than our oldest child, Cynthia, when I came from California to visit my parents. My mother was tending Margaret while Emily worked and Forest in school. It was so fun to watch Margaret and our little girl become instant friends, as children do, and run and laugh all through the house. We were saddened to hear of Margaret's passing.
Our love and prayers are with you all,
Aunt Joye and Uncle Rulon Cluff
