Not sure what to say?

I met Margo many years ago in our church. She was always so pleasant and friendly. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother and grandma. Margo will truly be missed. R I P my friend.

The world has lost a real treasure. Margo has always been a calm, steady, kind, responsible lady, from her high school years, through her professional life, and in her ties to family and community. She will be warmly remembered and greatly missed by all of us who have been privileged to know her.

Margo and I shared Birthdays 2 days apart, My friend was always Beautiful.

Margo was a good friend. She was a caring, Christian woman who will be sorely missed by her many friends and family.

Margo was our landlord back in 1983 when Linda and I first moved to Manistee. She was an exceptionally nice person. We considered ourselves lucky to have her as a landlord. May she rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. -Chelsea, friend of Robby
