Dear Hirschfeld Family,

Margo was my best friend from 1st grade through 6th grade. We bought the same dress for a school picture, talked everyday, slept over at each other's houses and did all those things best friends do together. My mom called me to tell me of Margo's death. I am very saddened for you, and can only imagine what a difficult time this is. Be strong for each other. Denise Blumenthal

Steve,



I am shocked and saddened over the devastating loss of Margo. I wish you, Judd and Zach my deepest and most sincere sympathies.



I will always remember Buttercup breezing in and out of The Lettering People in the most stylish of sweat suits. A breath of fresh air, and a truly nice, funny and caring person.



What a loss. A virtual hug for all of you.

Steve, Judd & Zach,



I wish that we could be there with you but at least our thoughts are even from this far away.



I've been looking back over my memories of all of you with us in Florida, in Chicago for Zach's bar-mitzvah and in Toronto for our wedding. There isn't a single dull or sad memory and I know it's mostly because of the influence and impact Margo's personality and lust for life had on all of us.



We'll miss her.



Love to all of you,

Marni Kay
