As a childhood friend of Margaret and knowing the family all these years I have many fond memories of Margaret, Sandra, and Angie's mom. Her kindness and graciousness will be remembered. My husband and I are in Arizona this week, but will certainly be praying for the entire family in this time of sorrow.
