To all of the children of Tom and Marge Munch . My love and deepest sympathy to each and every one of you. I have so many great memories of your Mom and Dad. Some of you will remember me as a next door neighbor, sometime babysitter. I will never forget all of the great times I was able to share with your family. You were indeed blessed to have these wonderful parents. They are together again now and for that we can rejoice. May God bless and comfort you all.

Dear Munsch Family,



You don't know me, but I have been a huge fan of Robert Munsch for many years. I knew that he was from Pittsburgh and always felt strangely close in that Pgh.-is-a-small-world way. Little did know that I was even living in the same township as Mom and Dad Munsch for several years. Thus, I was saddened to hear of the passing of Margaret Munsch. The stories of Bob Munsch have always reflected a strong understanding of family and the many crazy, happy, sad and unusual things that can happen in all kinds different family structures. So, in this most difficult time for a family, I send my deepest sympathies and my hopes that the memory of Margaret will be sustained by all with love and peace.
