MARGARET MERTZ

Dear Nancy,
It was with great sadness that I learned about the passing of Margaret. I remember all your family so well when all of you were parishioners at St Anne's. Margaret was, indeed, a beautiful person ad I know this leaves a very empty place in your life. May it help to know that I and a tremendous number of people care.
With sincere sympathy and love,
Jean Hauser, St. Anne's

My sincerest condolences to Margaret's family. I had the pleasure of knowing her as a young music teacher at the United World College in Montezuma, NM. As her students, we certainly didn't make life easy for her, but she still seemed to enjoy working with us. I still remember her outrage when I talked to her about quitting music class and our subsequent trips to choir practice in her brand new red pickup. And I will always remember her smile. Much strength and love to her family!

Deeply saddened by the loss of Margaret. She was brilliant, kind, generous and open. Her time was a blessing to this world.

I was so sorry to hear of Margaret's passing...it was a joy to work for her...she was kind-hearted and the very best of bosses!

To Margaret's family: It is with sincere sympathy that I send this note. Margaret and I first met when she served as the Assistant Dean of the College of the Arts at the University of Florida. I was on the faculty in the School of Art and Art History and feel fortunate to call her my friend. Margaret was everything you could ask for; she possessed kindness, an understanding soul, enthusiasm and creativity. I feel blessed to have known Margaret and to have spent time discussing art and life...

Sharing condolences to Margaret's family and friends. We in the UF College of the Arts are so sad to learn of her passing. She was an important member of our arts family at UF. Her contribution here were important and helped advance the arts here in Florida.

Sending love and light as she did to all those who knew her.

My most heartfelt condolences to Margaret's family and loved ones. I am still shocked and terribly saddened by Margaret's passing. I had the pleasure of working with her at the SVH Foundation. She was brilliant and had a beautiful soul. Margaret also had a wonderful positive outlook and was full of life. She had a great perspective and was able to bring a sense of calm and common sense to a sometimes chaotic situation. I truly believe she was too good for this world. I pray she is at peace...

I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. Margaret was a great woman and will be truly missed. She will always be remembered at UNC School of the Arts.
