Dear Meg, Eileen and Paul,

The photo of my Aunt Margaret above, oh my, she was always beautiful. My father, Francis (Frank) Gallagher is your father's brother, my mother is Muriel (Borst) Gallagher. They both are deceased. The last time I remember seeing Aunt Margaret and Uncle Tom was a visit they made to St. Petersburg, Florida in the early 1980's, maybe 1981 to 1983. The time before that was in 1981, when Aunt Margaret, Uncle Tom and Paul came to...

I believe this was my Mom's engagement party, with Jean Ford at far left, and our Moms sitting next to each other.

Hi Eileen! Yes, I would love to see any pix you might have. I also have one for you, as well. There are a lot of great stories from back in those days.

"Aunt" Margaret was one of my Mother's best friends and was one of her bridesmaids; and "Uncle" Tom one of my Dad's best friends. They both were wonderful people, and leave many happy memories with us. May she rest in God's peace.

Aunt Margaret was my Godmother. The last time I saw he she was visiting my father, Ivan Gotham a few months before he died. Hoping she had a peaceful last weeks on this earth and may she rest in peace.

Mrs. Gallagher, (Margaret ), I honor you in your passing to the next. Remembering how you and Mr. Gallagher provided a sweet refuge for myself and other PA students at your home in Delmar 1979-1981, warmth, encouragement and cookies. Your grace and intelligence aways shined through.In your last years, when your brain rested, you gave me Meg, a friend for life.Thank you.Francine

Dear Paul and Jeanne,
My deepest condolences to you and your loved ones.
After reading Margaret's obit, I'm envious that you had such an adventurous mother. She seemed full of life late into her age.
I'm sure she passed on her courage and zest for life to you and jeanne.
Here's to hoping your memories of her provide you with some comfort during these days, and know that I'm thinking of you guys.
Luz (& Dino)

I will always have wonderful memories of your mother and the great times we had in Pittsford and in Canandaigua. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
In Jesus Name,
Laurie
