Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

We have the promise of everlasting life found at John 6:40 - Let this help you find comfort and hope. Our deepest heartfelt sympathy to your family at this difficult time. We are truly for your loss.

My thoughts are with you,Mel,and certainly you,Chris. As someone else posted here,there will never be anyone else like Margo.

We were blessed in countless ways to have been a part of Margo's life, impacted in wonderful ways. She educated. We learned. She cared deeply and shared her insightful talents.She could not have done more to help each of us, her patients, her colleagues, her friends.

You will always be with us, Margo. You are a legacy. Til we meet again, rest easy...

Margo was an inspirational leader who led from her heart and compassion for assuring all people receive quality pain care. Her education and advocacy efforts are significant in scope and she has left a legacy of nurses and other providers who now carry her torch!

As with so many others, Margo shaped my career and my passion for pain management. I first heard Margo present at Lake Morey, VT in the 1980's, and from then on, she inspired me to learn more! Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine eventually becoming a colleague. Margo's drive, advocacy, passion, talents and compassion are legendary. Her work and her legacy will live on in those of us who learned from her and follow in her path.

I remember hearing Margo while in nursing school. Her teaching on pain management impacted my work with oncology patients.

I am grateful for the many years I had with Margo. For those of us who started this journey very early, we have had a mentor, a friend, an ally and so much more through the years. We will all definitely miss the love she held for patients and peers.

God bless you always Margo for your kindness and encouragement to a struggling graduate student trying to find her way in pain management. Your shining example of pain excellence was a beacon for me on my journey of caring for people in pain. You shared your knowledge with anyone, your Clinical Manual was the Bible for a sound resource to manage pain. You are and will be missed. Thank you for all you have done for the art and science of relieving suffering in the world. Rest comfortably.
