Aunt Margaret was such a special and sweet lady. I am so glad that I got to see her at the picnic last summer. No matter what her state was she never failed to embrace the day with a smile and strength. It makes me happy to know that she is up there with other special people, especially my grandpa :)

Aunt Margaret was one of a kind. She engaged us in stimulating and thought provoking conversation, with a wonderful witty slant on everything. She was a favorite of our daughters, as she was of all of her nieces and nephews. Gatherings won't be the same without her. But, we're sure that Val is happy to have her by his side in heaven.
