I was heartbroken to hear this news. I´ll always cherish the memories we shared at Little Flower. Margie was so kind, always smiling, and her laugh was truly infectious. I don´t think there was ever a time we weren´t laughing together.
My deepest condolences to the entire McMenamin- Kilkenny family. May she rest in peace.
