Memories and Condolences

I just read about Margaret who was a classmate of mine at Most Holy Rosary School in Syracuse, NY. and my neighbor on Ruskin Ave.
I remember Margaret as a kind, creative, fun loving and highly intelligent person - full of independence at an early age. Her accomplishments naturally followed her as I have just learned. She was an inspiration to many and greatly loved by many; an accomplishment in itself.
My condolences to the Hartnett family, her children and extended family who were fortunate to have Margaret in their lives.
With sympathy,
Janice Hoffmann
