I met Margaret several years ago at The Nautilus Inn at Daytona Beach, Florida and we had many good hours together there, especially during their Happy Hour. We have kept in touch ever since as I live in Etobicoke and, lately, have been meeting at a local restaurant for either lunch or dinner. She was always so cheerful, and friendly with lots to say on a wide variety of topics. I shall miss her greatly.
Please accept my sincere sympathy.
