When I first met Casey and Margo at St.Lukes the first thing they wanted to show me was how Casey could still wrap his leg around his neck! I think he was around 90 years old at that time. They were a remarkable couple and I was sad to note that Margo had passed last year. I believe they are together again now and Margo is looking down on the people wearing the many slippers she knitted. I loved talking to them about their earlier life and they brightened the days for so many people. This world was a nicer place with them in it and they will both be sadly missed. R.I.P. and thank you for the love and laughter and your many talents that you shared with us.
Sincerely,
Margaret
