I am deeply saddened to hear about Margaret's (Marg's) passing.

I am saddened by the news of our loss of Marg! John, my condolences and warm thoughts go out to you and your family. I knew Marg as a friend, coworker and student. Her warmth and her sense of humor were always so appreciated. A bright light taken from all of us much too soon!

Dear John, Erin,Megan, family and friends. I was heartbroken on the news of Margs passing. Working with Marg early in her bright career was always an ongoing pleasure. She was just plain nice and always wanted the best for all. Someone like her taken so early is especially sad.

Our deepest condolences to you, John, and your family at this difficult time. The photo you chose beautifully reflects Marg's sunny and kind nature. I remember how, as a librarian, she warmly welcomed me to GSLIS in 1993. We quickly became friends. Marg remained dedicated to mentoring students, faculty and colleagues throughout her well respected career. Her greatest joy, though, was her family. May you find comfort and courage through your memories of happy times together. Rest In Peace,...
