We are truly sorry for the loss of Margaret. We are her neighbors at 51 Peachtree Village and we used to visit outside when she walked her dog. She loved her family and missed Florida. Please accept our sincere condolences.

It is with great sadness that I read of the Passing of Margaret. Margaret and I grew up on Euclid Street and I remember the many conversation that we had as she walked by our house on her way home. She really was a beautiful person.

It is with great sadness that I have read of the passing of Margaret. She grew up on Euclid Street about a half a block from where I lived. I remember the many conversations that I had with her as she used to walk by my house on her way home. She had a very warm personality.
