God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. My deepest sympathies to the Grevais family and to my Uncle Roger who I love very much.

Janet,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your mom. Margaret was such a wondeful neighbor of ours for 25 years. We will never forget her and the stories of her love for her family. We'll always remember her for her beautiful afghans and Nicky.

It was a great pleasure getting to know not only Margaret, but her family, during her stay at St. Camillus. Her love for her family was always evident in her words and in her facial expressions as she spoke of you with pride. My prayers go out to you during this difficult time.
