MY SINCERE SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY OF MARGARET. SHE WAS ONE OF MY FIRST BOSSES I EVER HAD AND I ENJOYED WORKING FOR HER IN THE LIBRARY. SHE WAS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND AND GAVE ME RESPONSIBILITIES I THOUGHT I COULD NEVER HANDLE BUT I PLEASED HER BY DOING SO. I WILL NEVER FORGET HER. SHE WAS ONE OF THE BEST.

Dear Lee and family: Ralph and I were so sad to see that Margaret had passed. We have so many fond memories of the 4 of us doing things together and laughing. You will always be in our hearts and prayers.

Charla, I am very sorry to read of your Mother passing away. As I read the short narrative, so many things came to mind as I remembered your Mother and how patient she was with us hooligans in the library. The library was probably our favorite 'class' beside gym class and your Mother was the reason. I hope you and your family realize the impact your Mother has made on even the 'hooligans' of the world and as she has found peace in Heaven that you will find peace knowing she is in good hands and others have you and your family in their hearts and prayers.
