Margaret E. Hardy

Margaret, We will miss our late night phone calls where we were on the phone for hours while Fran kept beeping in on the other line. Your support and encouragement always meant so much.

We so appreciate you and Chubs opening your home to our family so that we could go to Disneyland. Our children have fond memories of our many trips. Thank you for not making us reupholster your white couch after our daughter had sever jet leg. How funny that after she got sick she was ready to go...

Aunt Margaret, You were such a wonderful and special individual. I will miss sending you letters and talking on the phone with you. I only wish that they had been more frequent. I am greatful for having the opportunity to have a relationship with you! I cherish the beautiful clothing and bibs that you made for my children. I will try to not be so selfish and pass them on to one of my nieces when they have children of their own. Maybe! I know I promised you that I would share, but I just can't...

To my Aunt Margaret, such a wonderful inspiration,
Remember when you tried over and over to get me to move to California? Both you and Uncle Ed were so wonderful to me and my many friends who spent time in your home. I remember you taking us all out to dinner as we were about to embark upon an adventurous drive to San Francisco. You wanted to make sure we had a decent meal before we left. I will always treasure the picture of you and Monty and the painting you did for me of the lone...

I miss Aunt Margaret and Uncle Egg so much. Growing up they were so much a part of my life. My first employer, earning more than I could ever dream of washing windows, pulling weeds and being rewarded by that wonderful ice cream, what more could a boy ask for. Learning to love the greatest team in America, Go Buckeyes! They also taught me how to accept failure, in that unsuccessful afternoon of trying to open a Macadamia nut that almost resulted in breaking a window instead. And oh, that...

Aunt Margaret was both very generous & very creative. I count the visits with her & Uncle Ed among the best days of my life. And on my couch I still have an afghan she made 30 years ago . . . though the afghan and the couch have now been taken over by my cats. Mostly though she had a really good sense of humor. Had to have to put up with me when I was smaller. The standing joke between my father & Aunt Margaret was her aversion to cooking. Dad told me that when Aunt Margaret & Uncle Ed...

Margaret & I always went to the beauty & out for lunch every Tuesday. She would ALWAYS tell the operator "Don't make her more beautiful than me!!!!She was a good friend & Oh.. how I'll miss her. Eileen Berry

When I was in junior high, my mom took me on my first trip to California to visit Aunt Margaret and Uncle Ed. Aunt Margaret took me shopping and to all the tourist attractions. We also went to Huntington Beach and IT RAINED. It was pouring and we just sat there because she said it never rained at that time of year in California! I will always have fond memories of her and surely will miss her. Marilyn (Eucker) Leadbetter

She bought me my first Shirley Temple doll..made my drapes for our first house...flew to Ohio for the birth of our son...we laughed together & cried together...she was the BEST of sisters. Til we meet again...you will be truly missed...Love you, Fran & Bob
