I send heartfelt sympathy to all family and friends. Although Margo's time with us was cut years short, she could't have been loved more!
She and I loved our families and enjoyed sharing stories of them. The common bond for us though, was her Hunter and my Cameron. These two boys would keep us talking (sometimes crying) for hours at the campground office.
I shall miss our talks, her bigger than life smile and joyful laugh, but not forget them.
