Not sure what to say?

I am sending sympathy and prayers for all the family. Much love, Julie Noonan Ross. (Toms daughter)

Maggee always had a sparkle in her eye. I enjoyed talking with her but I had no idea she led such an interesting life. I wish I'd known her better. I'll miss her. She was a bright spot in the lower garden.

Like moths to a flame we are drawn into life to live its fullest, that God has offered us, by our own choices a path leads. Maggie you led a path of great adventure (in my book) and plenty of curves had we followed you on. Your passing I'm sure will be no different. With love to thos that you had left here on the Earth, thank you and may God guide each of you in your own lives.

Maggee was one of a kind. Sending love to the whole family. Florence

Midge was an amazing mix of family, important causes, sense of humor, maverick, friend to many kinds of people, and a character to be long remembered. Love to her kids and grandkids who, like many others, will miss her.

Dorothy,
We were so sorry to hear the news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your other family members. Loss is never easy. Our faith gets us through. Love and hugs to all
