I have only known Margaret since May when my mom was moved to her floor, but we bonded right away. We felt like we had known each other for years. She was so sweet and thoughtful. That is why I became so attached to her in such a short period of time. Tues. when my girlfriend, Sandy Dingman, and I went to see mom I introduced her to Margaret. She said she hadn't felt good for a couple of days. Later she wasn't in her room but when we took mom downstairs we noticed her in the Beauty Parlor. When we left to take mom back upstairs we waved good-bye as she was under the hair dryer. Thought then she must be feeling better. Today when my husband and I went to see mom after church we found out that she had passed away. I have cried off and on all day. Felt so sad because she was so young. I look forward to seeing her in Heaven someday. She touched my life in such a short time. Our sincere sympathy. You are sad and miss her but she is happy where she is. I am happy for her as she is at peace, but I will miss her lovely smile and sweet conversations. In Christian Love, June Darlin

To the Giblin family
We are sorry to read about the passing of Margaret
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
I am not there…I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow…
I am the diamond glints on snow…
I am the sunlight on ripened grain…
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning’s hush,
Of gentle birds in circling flight…
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry------
I am not there…I did not die

I am so sad to hear about Margaret's passing. When we first moved next door to her she welcomed our family with a yummy plate of cookies. I also remember the knock on my back door when she brought over a large doll for my daughter Julia shortly before she was starting pre-school. Although we grew apart and did not communicate as much...We thought of her often. She will be missed. Again my condolences to you. If there is anything you need please never hesitate to contact us.
