Marg was a very dear friend of mine, sharing much the same heritage, upbringing and faith in the Lord. I will truly miss her close friendship. Love and prayers to all her family.

The service was so beautiful. A true testimony to how she lived her life. She was my God Mother and I have always felt blessed in this way because she was a true woman of God.

The memorial service for Marg was beautiful and touching to say the least. While sitting there and listening to the service I could sense just how loved and cherished she was by so many people. Marg was one of the very few people I can say that I have known my entire life and she will be deeply missed but forever remembered as the loving, kind and wonderful women that she was.

We were saddened to hear of Marg's passing. My husband and I were blessed to know Marg and have shared many laughs with her. She was a beautiful, warm and loving woman and we will miss seeing her warm smile on our visits to Edmonton. Don, Richelle, Greg and Sharla may God's blessing and peace surround you and your families at this time.

Marg was a special friend. She was a remarkable, wonderful, talented person who touched many lives and was respected and loved by all who knew her. I will always remember the many things we did, and time we spent together. Mostly thru laughter but some thru tears. My sympathy goes out to you Don, her love and to Richelle, Greg, Sharla and their families. May warm memories help ease the pain of your loss.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Marg's passing. Saw her last November and she seemed in such good spirits. I fondly remember doing music with her many years ago at Calvary. God bless those she leaves behind.

It was with shock and sorrow that I heard of Marg's passing.
I have wonderful memories of the many things we did together, like planning Sharla's 16th birthday party! Marg and I had seasons ticket to the Mayfield dinner theater one year also. She was always fun to be with and always had a positive attitude and what a wonderful cook! We shared many painful times as well but she always relied on her faith.
Greg, Richelle and Sharla please take comfort in how much your mother loved you and her grandchildren. Also, be comforted by how may, many people loved her.

Marg was such an inspiration as she faced her battle with cancer. We've laughed together, shed tears, and enjoyed her musical talents as we raised the roof singing old hymns. Such wonderful memories of a awesome woman. Our thoughts & prayers are with Don, Richelle, Greg, Sharla and your families.

"I will sing (and play my piano) to the LORD as long as I live. I will praise my God until my last breath!"

It was with sadness that I learned of Marg's passing. My encouter with Marg was when we both entered psychiatric nursing and after 45 years continued to keep our friendship special.

We shared many life events many of which we celebrated together. Marg had a great sense of humor which got her through many trying days. She was a genuine person whose friendship I will always treasure. She enbraced any adversity and through her faith was able to find peace and overcome what she could not contol. She was an exemplary example of someone who believed that her destiny was not in her own hands.

To Richelle, Gregory and Sharla, take up your mother's faith and pursue her legacy. Her grandchildren were her pride as was her family.

God Bless you all as you go through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
