Although its sad to hear of her passing I need only to think of what Aunty Marg meant to me growing up in Dinsmore to instantly put a smile on my face. She was my second mom, my horticulture teacher, and my inspiration to be positive when times were hard. She will always be alive in my thoughts and my heart.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Margaret. I loved to see her at all the Durell/Bezaire functions. She was always a delight to visit with.

So sorry to hear of Margaret's passing. I will never forget her laugh or how she was always interested in what me and mine were up to, especially after we left Dinsmore. She was a great lady and she will be missed. What a legacy of love and laughter she has left behind.

Many hugs -
Brenda and family
