Margaret was always kind and wonderful to talk too. I always looked forward to seeing her and admired her courage through her cancer. Of course I will vote for Biden. We can all hope for better times.

You were a wonderful person. We had great conversations. Your in a great place with family you have not seen for some time welcoming you home. We did not agree on Biden and his behavior. But, I will vote Trump in your memory.

Margaret was a beautiful person, kind and generous. We loved spending the many years of Champagne Hikes with her. Margaret loved Hawley and its “sons and daughters.” She was a fabulous cook and a great hostess. Best of all, she always had a welcoming, warm smile. We loved her and will miss her.

We will miss Margaret, all three of us, including our dog Oscar, for whom she brought treats to the back door. I'll miss her daily trip on foot down the steep drive to pick up the mail and newspaper—a welcome distraction from my writing struggles. We had regular conversations about the world when we met at the mailbox and I always enjoyed them. Last Wednesday I met Margaret and Hank in the Big Y and we kind of trailed around together, Hank cracking wise. Margaret talked me into buying a jar of caviar and shared her recipe for her caviar hors d'oeuvre. We will make it and raise a glass to Margaret, and of course, we voted for Joe Biden.
