Margo was my 5th-grade teacher (1965-66) at the old McKinley School previously located at 1860 S. State Street in Salt Lake City. Two days after school started in September my mother passed away. "Miss Jorgensen" soon observed that I was not eating lunch, but waited outside on the playground until my classmates finished so that we could play during the rest of the lunch hour break. Quietly she began preparing me a delicious lunch each day in a brown paper bag with my name on it. She faithfully continued to do so for the next 8 months until my father remarried. As a child I never understood the importance of this magnificent gesture of love and kindness until later in life I realized what a wonderful thing she had done for me. For over 30 years I thought about her and how I might one day find her to express my sincere gratitude. Then in 2008, I typed her name into an internet search and located an Orem property tax record and a recent address. Right away I mailed her a letter explaining who I was and that I wanted to thank her. She gave me her phone number and we began corresponding over the next several years. Finally in 2011, I was able to meet her again face to face in Orem and express my deepest appreciation for such great tenderness offered to a shy 10 year-old boy under her watchful care. I'm sure there are countless incidents and occasions when Margo performed similar service to other needy individuals, and immediately comes to mind the Savior's touching words: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of these the least of my brethren, ye have done it unto me." - Enter into thy rest!

Margo was my sixth-grade school teacher in 1969-1970 at Bella Vista Elementary. I have thought about her over the years and the positive
influence she had on my life. I am sorry for your loss, but know she had an impact on many, many lives.
