Not sure what to say?

You always are in my memories cousin Margaret. Know you are missed by Steven and Ellen and all your grandchildren. God Bless You!

So sorry for your families loss of a great woman, mother and grandmother. I wish you comfort during this difficult time and to know she has found everlasting peace.

You know how I loved your Mom and all the thoughtful guidance she provided me as we were growing up. So many good memories of your Mom. She is at peace now. Hugs, Weslene Varney Molon

My warmest sympathy to Margaret's family. She was a shining role model for me when I first volunteered at the Athenaeum as a young adult: she was knowledgeable, kind, always dressed in her own classical style, never condescending. I remember thinking I would like to be like that...

I will always remember growing up with Ellen on Thaxter Road, and the influence this wonderful woman had on my life. I remember how she always had information in her files to help me with a school project. I remember her as my Brownie and Girl Scout Leader. She was always encouraging the "Thaxter Road" girls to be all that we could be. I miss you Mrs. "M". Heartfelt prayers for Stephen, Ellen, their children, grandchildren and great child.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Margaret was a wonderful lady and a great neighbor. She will be missed.

Mary Lou Ward and Kathleen Ward

Ellen,

Ellen and Steve,
Rick and I are so sad to hear of the passing of our wonderful cousin and your Mom. She always has been a special person in our lives. May God bless her as she joins all our family members in the land God has promised us. Will hope to join you when you have a family remembrance.
