Dear Tracy & Family

It has been many years but I still remember your Mom as very warm & fun person - a "Mom-away-from-home" for those numerous sleepover visits! I was saddened to hear the news & hope that you are doing okay under the circumstances.

As a customer in Kelly's store "Fetch" in Kerrisdale, I will miss Margaret's quiet, hospitable presence. It was very special to observe the relationship between mother and daughter. I can only hope that I am able to have such a wonderful relationship with my children. You knew she was a special person from the first time you met her.

Dear Brian & family,

Andy and I were deeply saddened to hear about Marg's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Although we hadn't seen each other for many years, I remember Marg as a "true gem", always cheerful, caring, and with a delightful sense of humour.
