My Dad (Stephen P. Hogg M.D.) just informed of the passing of Margaret. Nancy & I are so sorry & send our deepest condolences to family. Margaret was a beautiful person & was especially nice to my Aunt Elizabeth Hogg. I often thought "how is Margaret doing" when I passed through Lexington? Now, I wish I would have stopped & said "hi." But, whatever, Margaret & my Aunt Elizabeth are together & having fun ....

Becky and Pat,
Your Mom was so special to ME! She never missed sending me a birthday card or my sister Mary! I will miss our fun conversations on the phone! When I was young visiting Granny's I always remember your Mom driving up in her "BUG" honking her horn so loud! Ha Ha! My favorite memory of your Mom was at Russ' wedding. When he was walking down the aisle he reached out his hand to his GrandMa and it was such a priceless moment for me to see...Almost like he was bridging the gap from Jenny to your Mom (so sweet). I send you both my love!

So sorry to hear about your mother. I first knew 'Stokes' through the halls of U-Hi although she a number of years ahead. Then more recently we have been in the same bridge club and I have really enjoyed knowing her and her friendship. She often spoke you all and loved you dearly. My sympathy to all the familyl God be with you. Emily Smith (Venice, FL and Lexington)

I will really miss Margaret. I met her in 1961 when she interviewed and hired me for a job at Student Center Cafeteria, U of Ky. She was not only my boss but a dear friend. My condolences to her family.
