I miss Margaret and think of her a lot. I miss those days of riding
our bikes on the beach in Hilton Head Island.

Aunt Margaret and family, here is your other niece, Carolyn Price Lacey, with her family before her grandbabies, Andy, James, and Myra, your great, great nephews and niece. You sure had a big family on your Mother's and big brother's side.

I met Margaret at an aerobics class. She was truly an inspiration of how to be a gracious lady. Her generosity of spirit and kindness came during a very difficult time in my life. I will forever remember dear Margaret.

I will always miss your visits to Grandmother's house. We all had fun playing with our cousin, Gordon and our big dinners with Uncle Hank.
