I worked with Margaret at Skyvue as a CNA and will miss her warm smile and loving attitude.
I want to express my deepest sympathy.
May the angels come to greet her and take her to the loving presence of our Lord and Saviour.

Gary and children,
I am so sorry to hear about Margaret's passing. It comes as a shock to me. It seems like only a few years ago that I introduced the two of you at Tammy and Bill's wedding. Gary you were so handsome in your military uniform!The rest is history...Margaret and I worked many years together at Skyvue-she was a loving and caring nurse and was beloved by her patients. She always had a bright smile-working with Margaret never seemed like work-we always laughed and joked and enjoyed each other's company. Today is the 6 month anniversary of my son in law's sudden death. I know the pain and sorrow in your hearts. Remembering the good times shared with Margaret and knowing she is at peace may provide some comfort. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. There is one more angel in Heaven who will watch over her beautiful family.
God Bless you all,
Mary Ann Busbee
Friend, Coworker, and Godmother to Francis

I have represented residents at SkyVue for the past 5 years as a POA and guardian. Margaret never failed to help me with medical issues concerning my clients. Even if my request weren't considered "her job" she always went out of her way to help me. What a great lady! She will truly be missed.

Dear Ramsden family, I worked with Margaret at Manor Care about 10 years ago. I had heard of her illness and have been praying for her and your family. I just want to let you know how much I enjoyed knowing and working with her--she worked very hard, was good at her job, and cared about the people she managed as well as the patients. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

Gary & family, I just wanted to say how very sorry I am for your loss. One thing Margaret always had, was a smile on her face, and I just know she's looking down on all of us right now with that same smile. She loved her family. That is for sure. God Bless you & take care.

Dear Ramsden Family, and especially Fran & Ben,
My heart goes out to each of you, as I will continue to include Maggie in my prayers, especially when I remember my own mother. They both had smiles that lit their entire face, and knew that life was a gift to be cherished and each day is to be lived to the fullest. Each day your heart will mend a small bit, but your memories will not fade.

Dear Gary and children, I wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. I worked with Margaret at Skyvue for several years. Margaret was such a great gal, she taught me so many things, and one of the most important lessons I learned from her, involved finding peace when my 5 month old son passed away. She was so instrumental in helping me find comfort in knowing my son was in heaven. May she rest in peace.

Dear Gary. Francis, Nicholas and Catherine,
My deepest sympathy to you.
I shared Margaret's office once a week at SkyVue for three years until Manor Care's Eastern Division eliminated the Chaplaincy Program.
We had lovely talks about many things, and she had pictures of all of you on her desk and wall. She surely loved you.
She was most caring and compassionate with the patients and residents, and I admired her very much.
May God give you comfort, consolation and peace during these most difficult days, and may He watch over you and guide you as time goes on.
Be sure of my prayers always.
Sister Jeanne Ubinger OSB.

Gary and family,
I have known Margaret for over 10 years and I am the Divisional Director that provides oversight to the MDS office of which SkyVue is a part.
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Margaret's illness. She was a very giving person and at times I had to remind her to focus on the MDS office as to she was so worried about the patients. She was in her job for the compassion of caring for others.
Her drive and dedication will be deeply missed.
You are all in my prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss.
