To the Entire Sharry Family,
Margaret was truly one of my favorite friends at the Hermitage. She was so full of life (not to mention spunk and vinegar). I really enjoyed the many evenings spent with her and all her beautiful children. You were all so special to us. I feel blessed to have been able to share this difficult yet special time with your family. I share in your sorrow as I know how devoted you all were to your Mom and she to you. Our heart felt sympathy from the entire Hart family goes out to you.
