I am so sorry to hear about Maggie's passing. I am a relative of hers, we had a mutual gr. grandmother, Julia Carmon Woolvin. My sons and I visited her in Richmond a few years ago. She took us to Jamestown where she did historical re enactments of the colony. We enjoyed meeting her sweet cats. I was hoping to see her again, guess I'll just have to wait.

I am late sending this because we don't have these in England and have only just thought about it.
I was so sorry to hear about Margaret. Although we only met once, we kept in touch via e-mail and I considered her a friend. She was such a kind and thoughtful person. I send my condolences to her family and friends.

With a heavy heart, I write this condolence. No words can express the person Margaret was or the impact she made in the lives of countless people she touched. She was much more than a teacher, artist, and musician. She was a friend. One that you could always count on for motivation, support, and understanding. She helped everyone she met with her whole heart, soul, and resourcesnever giving up until she made a difference in their situation, circumstance, or emotional health. Margaret's life will live on forever in the students she has taught, the good deeds she has done, and in the hearts of all those who love her. God Bless.
