Dear Petrarca family,
Margaret was such a wonderful person and I will always remember her kind smile. She was so positive and gave so much of her time to help people. I remember her always coming over to pay bills for my grandmother (Theresa) and balance her checkbook. I know you miss her dearly and I extend my sincere sympathy as you deal with this loss. Your family is in my prayers during this difficult time.

I'm really sorry for everyone's loss. I stopped by Coach Petrarca's house after high school to chat a few times with Allfred, and Maggie would always talk to me about the Celtics and Red Sox. It was always a pleasure to be in her acquaintance. A kind soul is an understatement. I'm lucky to have met her for sure.
