Read MoreDear Dr. Hamosh and Family,
It is with great sadness that I just learned of the passing of your wife, mother and grandmother today from Theresa Henderson. Though my time at Georgetown was short, I have very pleasant memories of my interactions with both you, Paul, and Margit. Furthermore, I have great respect for the person she was and her professional achievements. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences.

Dear Paul and Family,
I am so terribly sad for your loss, and it took me time after you called me at the lab in France, Paul, announcing me the bad news, to be able to express my feelings. I will always remember Margit as a smiling great lady with so many human values. It has been a real privilege to share with you some months of my life, at a scientific level (that still inspires my research today), but much more at a human level. I keep in mind our discussions, Margit's advices, the...

Dear Paul
As the current President of ISRHML and on behalf of all ISRHML members past and present I would like to express our sympathy to you and your family on the sad paaing of Margit. My memories track back to the Mexican earthquake and the rescheduled Oaxaca Scientific meeting, which through the efforts of Margit, in particular, consolidated the formation of ISRHML.

Dear Paul,
I am sorry for your loss. I remember Margit as a vivacious engaged person with a wonderful sense of humor matched by her strongly held views and sharp intellect. She will be very missed.

Dearest Paul and family,
I first met Margit 21 years ago at Georgetown for my job interview - with my newborn daughter. I was a new mother with no experience with babies and Margit told me that she was so afraid to give her first newborn (Ada)a bath that Paul had to come home from the hospital every night at bathtime. We shared a laugh and then got down to business. She was my boss, teacher, and friend. Her spirit lives on in all of us.
Love,
Terry, Capt. Steve, Maddy, and Steven Henderson

Dear Paul,
I am so sorry to learn of Margit's death. I have been so privileged to know both of you and, particularly, to benefit from her contributions to ISRHML, wisdom and enthusiasm for life. She will be missed.

Dear Paul, I have heard with sorrow about the death of Margot. I appreciated so much her engagement in the founding of the ISRHML and the devoted work Margot and you spent for the arrangements of its meetings, not least the one in Mexico many years ago.
Please accept my deepest sympathy in your sorrow,
