My condolences to you Vickie and family. Margaret was certainly an inspiration in my life. I worked with her at Catholic Social Services for 2 years. Such a dear woman that I grew to love and respect. I visited her a few months ago and had such a great wonderful visit with her. Just know that she will be missed by many.
