Margaret Abate

My thoughts and prayers are with your family Marge. I was a office manager at a dental office in Rockford, Marge was my favorite patient. She was always smiling and friendly with everyone. The world is a lonelier place without you Marge. I know you are with Peter now and happy about that. I am so proud to have known Marge. I have since moved to Arizona. God Bless your family and be with them in there time of sorrow

I met Margaret when I came to visit my mother-n-law and she was always greeting us. I use to bring my friends little 2 year old to visit her. She loved children and was so lonely for her husband. One Thanksgiving we sat with her and she ask my 14 yr old grandson for a hug, I was so proud and and happy when he complided. I came to see her after my mother-in-law was gone and she was so nice.

Dear Mike & Steve, Was so "SAD" to read about your MOTHER. We have been great friends for many years and also your FATHER. Have visited them in their home and her at St. Annes. Everytime I returned to Rockford, I always went to visit and took her a Rose. We had many good talk and laughs. I shall miss her very much. My Sympathy to ALL of YOU... How she loved those Grandchildren. God Bless Sincerely,

I'am a nurse and I took care of your mother at Staint Anne's. I will always remmber her sitting by the front door. Smiling and greeting everyone when they came to visit. She was always giving directions to some of the other resident's to help them get back to their rooms or going to find staff member to assist resident's back to their right unit. May God bless you and keep you, and keep you in your time of need.

The Abate Family,

I am one of the Receptionists at Provena St. Anne Center. I was very close to Margaret, she would sit by my desk everyday that I worked. I got to know her very well as she did me.

She loved them more than life itself and she talked about her family, how she has a...
