Not sure what to say?

Geoff,
My friend, Nancy Falzone-Cardinal, told me of your loss. I am so sorry to learn of this very painful time for you and your daughters. I remember you speaking of your wife from time to time during our monthly meetings, and I remember that it was always with a sense of pride. It sounds like she was a wonderful woman. Please know that you are in my thoughts.

I had that great pleasure of protesting along side Margaret at Springfield no one leaves events. My deepest condolences to Geoff and her family. She will be greatly missed.

Geoff, Jimmy and I are very saddened to hear of Margaret's passing. She was a wonderful, loving, generous, kind soul. Such kindred spirits as you and she are...will live on...even as she dwells in her new heavenly place. I pray for God to guide you and your family towards eventual peace.

I had the opportunity to work with Margaret at Springfield No One Leaves. She was a true fighter for Social Justice. Peace be with her.

Dear Geoff and family, I'm so shocked and sad about Margaret's death. She died on my son Noah's birthday, August 9th, who just turned 41.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Sending my condolences to the family. May God give you strength and peace during this difficult time. (Psalm 29:11)

Geoff and Lori (and Heather - who I don't know if I've met):
I'm so sorry to hear about this. While I never met her personally, her reputation was HUGE and she was clearly well respected as well as well loved. My thoughts are with you....
Warmly,
Tracey Levy

To all the Lobenstine.family,
I am saddened beyond all words at reading of your terrible loss of Margaret. She has been in my thoughts a lot lately. ..as ever, since her friendship and wise counsel have become such a part of me. Margaret saw me through many challenges; she saw me with a clear, fresh outlook; and she helped my family and me, in disparate and creative ways, always with her amazing insight and new approaches. I love her very much, & she remains forever in our hearts.
