Margaret Ellen Coates Thomson

I always enjoyed our annual breakfast get-togethers at Christmas, where Margie and a few of us "Casita folks" got together to catch up. It was wonderful hear everything Margie and her family had been doing during the year. We shared a common interest in floral-arranging, and I can recall doing a couple of arrangements together for work. I will certainly miss her--and already have this past Christmas, since she wasn't there for our breakfast. You all have been in my prayers and will...

We will miss Aunt Margie's big smile, ever-enthusiastic "HI!" whenever we visited, her warmth and her laughter. She was our "California Mom" while we lived there. Her energy was boundless and her love for her family the same. Her strength through many trials was an inspiration. We hold on to many wonderful family memories.

What a pleasure knowing Margie the last several years. She was a great addition to the Vista Garden Club. A beautiful person inside and out. Comforting thoughts to the family.

Margie's warm wisdom and kindness was extended well beyond her immediate family. I will be forever touched by her generous heart for abused and disadvantaged youth in her Vista community. Tommy, you are in our hearts and prayers!

I have so many childhood memories of playing at your house with Mary! Your house was often like a second home to me. What comes to mind as I think of those days is how kind Margie was and how she always had a smile to give us. Prayers to the Thomson Family

I couldn't have had a better mother-in-law. Her advise was wise and always spoken in a way that was easy to receive. Mostly I learned from her curious and loving example. I am grateful to have known her and been influenced by her. All my love and support to the family, especially Tommy, during this difficult time. Sandy Thomson

Aunt Margie will be missed. Growing up I spent many a holiday with Aunt Margie and Uncle Tommy. Awesome memories! Rest in Peace! Much Love! Donald

All of our love and prayers go with you

So many great memories of Margie, and the fun times we had. . . . . from the Vista Swim Club, to Lincoln Band events, and then on to Kiwanis! I have loved the Thomson family forever, and will miss that dry sense of humor. . . . . and the great example Margie always showed as just a really supportive wife and mother. Hugs from Jackie, Jim, Lisa, and Alice
