To the Tally family.
My heart felt sympathy to Margo's family. I remember her when she passed her swimming test at Lincoln Lakes. I envied her so much as I couldn't even put my face in the water and hold my breath. She was in the same grade as me in Central School. She was so full of energy and then when she moved away I lost all contact with her. After she moved from Lincoln, I was friends of her cousins, Bill, Jack and Gwen.
Jack sent emailed me Margo's obit is how I am aware of your loss.
Again,
My sympathy,
Jeanne Van Meter Simms
