She gave and received a lot of love. I'll always remember her kindness in including me in family events. She also had a keen sense of humor and lived life to the fullest until the end. Cheers to a great lady!! Marilyn (California)

Mrs. Rundle was such a wonderful neighbor to my late husband's family for so many years, even to sending cookies to my brother-in-law Jack when I didn't make them according to the old recipe! I know her generosity of spirit will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy extends to her entire family and especially to Peg, who was a devoted caregiver. Annelly Deets

Mrs. Margaret Rundle was a kind and generous woman who will be missed by her neighbors!
I'll always remember how she and Peg would send dinner to my uncle when he lived alone.
God bless you all.
