Not sure what to say?

Miss you soooo much Auntie Margot. Glad you and Daddy Q are hanging in heaven together, the dynamic duo!!! Love you forever

My deepest sympathy goes out to Margot's family. Seems like 1 year ago instead of 4 that Margot offered her house to me when I was on vacation in Portland. She was traveling to Europe to meet up with Willie who was teaching in Russia that summer. Margot and I grew up together in the Muirlands and I always enjoyed hanging out at the Karpinski's and going to slumber parties there. I was fortunate to meet her beautiful daughter and grandaughter, speak with Carolyn on the phone and even talked to...

Are you dancing with the stars? Gina

Although it's been many years, I remember Margot fondly from our days in high school together. Had I known in time (I just received the notification from the LJHS alumni association today, Nov. 30), I would have attended the memorial to say goodbye.

My prayers are with Margot and her family.

Times like these can make words seem so insignificant. I want to provide these wonderful words of love, sentiment and consolence yet in my mind nothing is even close to sufficient. Therefore I will keep it simple. Know that from the bottom of my heart you are all loved. I miss Margot already. I think of her always. All my love.

Our deepest condolences to Willie and the Karpinski family. As we raise our glasses to Margo, we remember an old Irish toast: There are good ships and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships, as Margot will always be.

The world is better for your being here and will be a lot less joyful with your absence. But you will be remembered with love by all those you touched. I'll miss you, my friend. Ciao!

Your loving, joyful spirit will be with us forever.

Love you Auntie Margot! Thanks for all the moments. Each one I treasure.
I believe you can find those "flying lady" golfballs at Afterlife Country Club. And the bartender knows how to make your drink.
You are awesome!
We miss you mightily.
