Your Mom's passing has left a void on Whittemore Lane and we've sorely missed her smile and warm presence for the past several years.

Charlie, Just found out about the passing of your mother. Sorry I couldn't be there. Will always remember the times we waited for you on your porch at 235 Beech St to come home from summer school a long, long time ago. Your mother always made us lunch while we waited. Condolences to Kathy and George (Kevin).

Kevin - sorry to hear about your mother. The few times I met her in Maine, she was always smiling and kind. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

I am very sorry for your loss, Margaret was a very special person.
I am her first cousin, Maureen Hutchinson Danforth. Margaret was so faithful at visiting my aged parents in Jamaica Plain, they always enjoyed those visits and her presence always stirred up the memories of Ireland.
Her father, Thomas, came out from Ireland on a boat with my mother/he fixed her up with his brother, Patrick. Her Dad with
his large family was the head of the Hutchinson Clan in Jamaica Plain, Roslindale and West Roxbury.
My early childhood memories were our sunday visits to Uncle Tommy and Aunt Sabina - Margaret always paid lots of attention to me.
May God hold your memories of her close to your heart, you were blessed to have had her in your lives. Love, Maureen Danforth
Stuart, FL

Kevin, please know that Jack and I are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. As I just lost my dad in early June, I know the emptiness that heavies your heart.

I hope you will be comforted knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many.

Margaret was always a welcome presence at Chris Barrevecchio's celebrations. She was like a loving grandma to all the kids who visited. I remember about 15 years ago her coming to the rescue when the kids nearly started a fire trying to cook crayons. I always looked forward to seeing her; she was well-informed, well-spoken, and always made you feel she was so pleased to see you. She was one in a million and will be missed by all.
