Like so many others, I´m here because of Margo´s episode and I can help but think what a beautiful lasting legacy to have. Margo´s memory is alive and well and her spirit continues to inspire people long after her physical body is gone via this fun little show about wedding dresses. My deepest condolences, the grief never gets easier just more familiar.

I just watched a rerun of Say Yes To the Dress with Margo. I was so inspired by her strength and her positive attitude in her fight against cancer as she prepared for her wedding. She was such a beautiful young woman and her family and friends were so wonderful and supportive. I loved seeing the gown on her at the wedding. I was shocked to see the memorial to her at the end and I was in tears. Ii am so sorry that her husband and her family lost her at such a young age. My heart goes out to all of them. She is their Angel now.

I, as well, saw Margo on Say Yes to the Dress. Her story touched me in a personal level as my daughter lost her fiancee to Osteosarcoma cancer almost 2 yes ago and were not able to wear in time before "The C" expired his life.
She was so beautiful on the show and I'm glad we got yo see a bit of her wedding...sooo beautiful. Rest with the angels pretty girl!

I just saw Margo's story on "Say Yes to the Dress", & her personality completely caught my attention. I sat down & watched the entire episode, & noticed that we were born the same year in 1987. She looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day, & she was beautiful even walking in to her appointment. I was so happy for her that she found her perfect dress & had someone as great as Derek to be by her side, & also an amazing family. Her courageous & optimistic attitude is something I truly admire. It broke my heart to see that she lost her battle with Cancer. I'm so very sorry. You all will be in my thoughts & prayers, always. Her beautiful soul will live on because you all will carry her with you no matter where you go or what you do. She touched my heart in just an hour, & to have known her like you all did, what a blessing to have had someone like her in your lives. God has her in His arms now, while you all carry her in your hearts.

Like others who've posted here, I just watched Margo's episode of 'Say Yes to the Dress' and was awed and inspired by her courage and exuberance in the face of the demon known as cancer. She was so astoundingly beautiful inside and out! GORGEOUS in her dress and such a BEAUTIFUL wedding! ...then came the memorial note at the end. I too went online to verify it. I just didn't want to believe it was true. I found myself in tears for this remarkable young woman, her husband, family, friends. I'm so thankful though that I had the privilege to glimpse this amazing woman for just those few moments.
My heartfelt condolences, even these almost six years later, to all her family and friends. Be comforted that even now Margo is touching and inspiring others' lives. Blessings

I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of yes to the dress.and I just saw an old episode that had Margo Mallory ambler on it,from 6 years ago.and my heart went out to her and her family.i lost my mom to ovarian cancer 8 and a half years ago.so that was extremely difficult on me.but someone that young it's so sad.i cry Everytime I see that episode.she was a very lovely young woman.so I understand how very difficult it is on a family to lose someone.my mom was only 63.so she was considered young to everyone I talk to about it.i was only 40 when she died.so my heart goes out to the family.rip Margo...

I just finished watching the Say Yes to The Dress episode that Margo appeared on. Throughout the whole episode I was so intrigued because of her courageous and uplifting personality. My granny sadly passed away of lymphoma cancer back in October of 2016, where I had to watch her struggle and fight through many difficult stages of chemo. So to watch Margo during this episode really brought some of those feelings back to me. You can tell how much of a beautful soul Margo was and to see at the end of the episode that her life came to an end saddened me. But it seemed as though she lived a beautful life and I was very happy to see she made it to her wedding day. So I send my condolences several years later to the family and friends. May she rest in peace and enjoy the pearly gates of heaven!

I saw Margo on a rerun today choose her wedding dress. She looked like a princess! When the credits rolled I was so saddened to see she passed away. You all looked like such a wonderful support group! I retired from Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa FL and am from Scranton PA. My heart and love goes out to your entire family and I will light a candle for Margo everynight when I light for my friends and family.

I have constantly prayed for Margo's husband who has been her best friend since they were young. I continue to pray for her faithful mother who never left her side. I still ask GOD to bless your family and remove any pain and replace it with peace. I ask GOD that one day your family will see her again. Because I do know GOD is Faithful and he has a path for all of you to take. She was breathtaking when I first saw her on Say Yes to the Dress. She was strong and fierce with the great spirit of the angels surrounding her. Thank you for letting me express my emotions and care for a woman I never met. And for those who knew her just remember how she was and never let a day go by with arguments, pain, negative energy or disgruntled friends around you. You'll should always live with a fabulous attitude and great fortune...understanding that you are living and knowing you had a chance to be a part of Margo's life. May GOD Bless you all. And remember GOD is Faithful. And please remember.... But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to GOD must know that He is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. So I employ you to continue to seek him. Be blessed.

May god bless and keep you.

I originally watched SYTTD 3-4 months ago. As a Cancer survivor x2, I can't seem to get this beautiful young woman out of my mind. Why do some of us survive, and some of us lose our battle against this dreaded disease? My condolences go out to Margo's husband, family, and friends. While her life was cut seemingly short, she appeared to live life to the fullest while she was here and had a positive effect on the people she touched with her beautiful smile and obviously huge heart. God Bless you all...

September 22, 2013

I can not believe a year has passed since Margo has left this earth. I continue to keep her and her family in my prayers. I am praying for all who were blessed to have shared their lives with such an amazing woman. May your hearts find peace in knowing she is deeply loved and admired by many.

Thoughts and Prayers to all Family and Friends who celebrate The memory of Margo Mallory Ambler <3 's

September 19, 2013

I was flipping through the TV Chanel's and saw a tall, beautiful, and bald young woman with the most gorgeous smile trying on wedding dresses, I had never seen this show before, but I watched and felt so inspired seeing and hearing Margo. Than the end came with a dedication 'In Memory To' and I just had to see more about this young woman's story, coincidently I saw she was born only
1 week before my second son. I saw more detail in a dedication from her sister. What an inspiration your beautiful daughter,sister, wife has left to complete strangers. Thank You for sharing her with me ,Thank you so much.
Sincerely, Shantell Wright, Idaho

I truly feel that Margo had so much light to shine and GOD wanted to have her come home to glory. Sometimes we don't know why things happen the way they do but we have to trust GOD and his will. May GOD bless the family and friends who loves and misses her.

I just saw Margo's story on Say Yes to the Dress and it touched me so deeply. She was truly an inspiration to all and she was taken way too soon.

I first saw Margo on say yes to the dress and her story truly touched home for me because I first became ill with lupus at the age of 19 and followed with cancer 4 years ago. Margo strength seemed so strong and she really inspired me. She is now one of your beautiful angels looking down on each one of you!

I saw Margo on Say Yes to the Dress and had hoped she won her battle with cancer.Though I never met her, the strength, love and beauty of her showed through on the show. She looked lovely in her dress and I am glad that she, at least, got to have her dream wedding. May she rest in peace. My sympathy to her families and those who knew and loved her.

I just saw Margo on "Say yes to the dress" and I'm deeply saddened when I saw that she had passed. She had the most gorgeous smile and a spirit that all of us should have today. I'm writing this while tears run down my face and I asked god why would he take such a sweet angel away so soon? I have faith and believe he had better plans for her and he needed her in Heaven to share the joy that I saw in her face and soul and share it with others.

Very sad. Gone too soon. She was a gift to all those around her while she was here.. I am sure of that. I just watched SYTtd and I was so happy for her and inspired by her courage, and so deeply saddened when I realized she passed. My deepest sympathies for all that loved her

August 16, 2013

I just saw Margo's episode and had to look her up. What a tragic loss of a beautiful young woman. Sending my prayers to her family. Learning of her death at the end of the episode was heartbreaking...tears are flowing for someone I never was fortunate enough to know. As a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, her story really is so shocking. She was way too young to have to fight a disease that is usually slow growing and treatable.

Dearest Margo
Though I never had the honor of meeting you, seeing you on SYTTD while on vacationwith my family touched my heart. You are so beautiful and genuine, when I saw your passing it was devastating. You touched so many lives and for some reason, incomprehensible to humankind, you left this world. All I can think is God needed a special angel by his side and choose you. My heart goes out to your husband and family. I am so sorry for your illness, suffering and for the tremendous loss to your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I just watched the SYTTD rerun. I have spent the last hour reading all about Margo, Derek and her family. Margo's strength and courage live on in your efforts to help others. Her gorgeous smile and dancing eyes made me want to root for her. I was devastated to learn of her death at the end of the show. It has almost been a year since her death and she continues to inspire others.

I am so sorry for your loss. As a breast cancer survivor and single mother, I know all to well what she battled and was in such awe of her spirit and courage. I saw your beautiful daughter on SYTTD and she is absolutely captivating. I was shocked to see the memorial at the end of the show and so saddened. From one mother to another I can honestly say how deeply sorry I am for your loss, no one should ever have to out live their children. Please tell your family how truly sorry I am and you all are in my prayers.

I just caught an episode of "Say Yes To The Dress" for the first time and was captivated by Margo. Her beauty and strength were awe inspiring. I sat there captivated by her and did not want the show to end. When I saw in memory of a the end I felt a pang in my heart and started crying. She is such an inspiration and I felt compelled to send condolances to her loving family. Thank you for sharing her with us.

I only just saw the episode of "Say Yes to the Dress" featuring Margo. I was touched by her grace and personality during the episode and, as a cancer patient myself, moved by her strength and beauty. Thinking she was doing well as I watched their marriage on the show, I was very saddened to see the memorial message at the end of the episode. I was so moved by her that I searched the internet to see if I could find out more, and found this sight. I see that many others before me felt the same way. I hope that Margo is able to know what an impression she made on others, including those of us she never met. My deepest sympathy goes to Margo's special husband, and to her family and friends. I ask for God's blessings upon you, and trust that you are comforted each day by memories of wonderful times shared with Margo.

Margo's story is truly a tragedy. I have been a nurse for an OB/GYN for 12 years and I know how rare cervical cancer is. It is normally 100% treatable. It's so horrible for someone her age to get such a rare and aggressive form. My heart goes out to you.

Margo Ambler, so beautiful and bright. I know you have filled the night sky with your sparkle, the sunny day is your smile. I just watched you choose your dress and said a prayer for you at your wedding. So shocked and saddened at the end. I have twin brothers, one is fighting melanoma of the brain. My love and prayers are for your parents,sisters and husband and all who loved you. Special blessings for your twin sister.

August 16, 2013

I just watched Say yes to te dress and your sister/daughter reminded me so much of my niece who recently married at 24 years old to the love of her life. Her big, beautiful smile and her amazing confidence blew me away. I was shocked and so so so saddened about hearing that she died. No one has ever moved me this much to look them up on line and find out more about her. You could tell your family and her husband were unbelievable people. I believe she is an angel and is definitely looking after you guys. I had to call my sister and tell her this story. I am still crying writing this. I am just so sad that this happened to such an amazing person. You guys and her husband will always be in my thoughts forever. She made a permanent imprint in my brain. I wish I had known her. I think everyone would have loved to have met her ..Emily D. Kentucky

To Margo's husband and family my deepest sympathy. Saw the episode of Yes to the Dress that Margo was in for the first time...such a beautiful soul...was so shocked to see this was in memory of her. This made me get the computer out to check this out as it really touched me. May you always feel you have a special angel in your corner watching your back.

Beautiful girl, beautiful angel. I just watched Margo's episode, and I had to look her up. Take comfort knowing you will see her again in Heaven!

August 16, 2013

My 15 year old daughter and I were watching SYTTD- not something we normally do. Margo's episode was on, and we were so happy for her! She looked beautiful in every frame of the show - because she was beautiful inside and out. We felt closer to her knowing she lived not far from us. To see the "In memory" at the end brought us both to tears. We were rooting for her happy ever after. Our prayers are with her and her family.

I have also seen the say yes to the dress episode, and Margo's strength and beauty were awe inspiring. What an incredible human being! I am sure these words are a small comfort to her husband, and family who had to say goodbye so young. I am sure Margo is in heaven continuing to inspire.She was a blessing.

Megan O'Neill

August 12, 2013

"Say Yes to the Dress" only rarely showcases brides who are genuinely likable, and to whom the audience manages to form an attachment. Watching yesterday's repeat of Margo's episode was to watch one of the episodes where the bride was charming and gracious, unassuming and truly kind. It was a pleasure and an honor to watch her choose her gown, and to see the short glimpse into her wedding day; the brief tribute at the end of the episode was unexpected and heartbreaking, but the strong emotional reaction seems to speak to the sort of person she was. Although I, and many of the others who have posted here, never met her and only know the small piece of her story that the show provided, I think it's safe to say that her story is inspiring even with the sadness that comes from a life cut short, and that we're all a little bit better for having heard it. Prayers and condolences to her family and friends, and wishes for healing and peace.

I saw her episode of SYTTD yesterday and was so touched by her beauty and courage. When she took that hat off she was stunning! I was so shocked when I saw the "in memory of" at the end that I looked her up today. She is an angel. My condolences to the family.

Rosalie Goldberg

Just watched the episode of "Say yes to the dress" what an amazing woman, so full of life and courage, Heaven is a happier place with her there. I'm speechless, I don't usually respond to things on television, however this time I felt the need to reach out.

Cindy Bates

August 11, 2013

I have seen Margo's episode two other times, but didn't notice the "in memory of" until today. She had a light that shone through the tv screen. I'm so sad of her passing, but grateful she was able to marry her love. Many prayers to you all!

August 11, 2013

I just watched the episode of SYTTD and I was so inspired and excited about the bravery that this young woman exhibited. I was cheering along with her family as she got married. I am still crying over the fact that they showed it was dedicated to her memory at the end if the show. I was a newlywed widow myself and lost my first husband to diabetes when he was 34 years old. It has been 10 years since he is gone but I have him in my heart as I am sure all of you do in regard to your special angel Margo. I have since recently remarried and am expecting our first child. My heart goes out to all if you and I will be keeping all of you close in my prayers. I love her motto...Bamit! I am going to use it in my daily life as a reminder of the strength Margo must have had to fight her battle bravely and with such grace. Blessings and love to all of you. May you find comfort in the memories you have of her.

My Condolences to the Family of Margo...Watched the episode of SYTTD a few minutes ago and I was So Very Happy that She had found a dress that She felt would make her Even More Beautiful, Cuz She was...It was Unexpected and Sad to read that She had passed away...May She RIP!!!

Margo's story on SYTTD was the first episode I've been able to watch in a long time. To see her struggles and watch her pain, but to still remain gracious and beautiful showed me what's really important in life. Living every moment like it's your last is what it's all about. Margo was beautiful on the show and I know her beauty is still shining brightly to this day.

August 11, 2013

She was so beautiful and had a beautiful twinkle in her eye.. rest in peace hub.

Thoughts and prayers to family and friends. Saw Margo's story on SYTTD she was stunning in her gown. Her story touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. Strong beautiful young lady. Courageous strong and brave. Lots of love to family and friends of the beautiful late Margo Ambler.

What a beautiful courageous lady!! So young to be struck with cancer!;*( I hope her husband is coping and able to find a companion down the road of life. He was there for her through the ups and downs and he deserves to rediscover happiness! Because as we all know, life is just to short not to be happy!

What a beautiful brave young woman. She touched my heart just by watching her on SYTTD. How lucky her family was having her in their lives and how lucky Derek is to be able to say she was his wife. Just look at how many strangers lives she touched.

While watching last night's episode of SYTTD, I was struck by the courage and determination of your beautiful Margo. So say that I was heartbroken at the end when the memorial was displayed, is an understatement. Your grief is felt by all of us who have signed the guest book and I hope you find comfort in those messages.

I saw SYTTD last night. When I saw the episode I just expected a happy ending. I was not expecting to see that Margo passed. She inspired me in so many ways in just that short segment. She was shining on her wedding day. I am so sorry for the entire family and her husband. I can see how much the people she brought with her that day loved her....and you could tell that she felt the love. Her husband greeting her at the alter and how he was beaming. I'm so sorry they didn't get to share a lifetime together. But I know that her spirit is strong and will forever be with them all. May God watch over another angel in heaven.

" I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of Margos special day. When a woman chooses her wedding gown it is a special event. To be a part of this for me was a gift . However I was heartbroken after seeing how happy and brave Margo and Derek were to fight this horrible disease together and then come together in love. To see them say their vows and to become husband and wife was beautiful. I thought it was for a lifetime "Til death do they part" My heart goes out to her twin sister Blaine and her other siblings as well as her husband Derek. My love and empathy to both sides of the family and all of her friends. They lost an amazing young woman. I believe she made herself strong enough to live long enough to fulfill the commitment of " Holy Matrimony" because that is how much she loved Derek. I was so sad to see that she had finally succumb to this horrible disease. Margo you inspired me when you said " you cant let cancer run your life " You are so right I will remember that with every challenge I face in life. Rest Peacefully You were a gorgeous bride xoxoxo

I also just saw the SYTTD episode, I was hoping she would have gotten her happy ending, it was very sad to see she was taken so soon. I lost my sister in June last year to pancretic cancer, it has been hard, but to her sisters she would want you to be strong, as she was, to keep smiling and be understanding to your mom, be there for each other. She was a fighter and although we only got a glimpse of her amazing spirit and beautiful soul it was enough to know she was a true angel and she will always be watching over all of you. May you find peace in your memories and in her smile forever in your hearts.

To her amazing husband I will share with you a poem I personally wrote many years ago. I send you prayers and strength in the loss of your soul mate.

The Dance by L.F.
They held each other,
Body to body as if one.
Time has stopped,
the music never ends.
There are no worries, there are no fears, just this amazing love and your tears.

Until you meet again, know she will always be with you.

My prayers to the family and her countless friends.

Extremely sad to hear that Margo lost her battle with cancer. I watched how excited she was as she tried on wedding gowns on SYTTD. She looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day. My condolences to all her family and husband. So sorry for your loss.

I just finished watching the episode of SYTTD with Margo. She was very brave and a beautiful woman. I cried during her story, was so happy to see video of her wedding, then cried once again when seeing the In Memory Of. My prayers got out to family and friends.

I happened to be up late, and was watching tv. I watched several episodes of SYTTD and the last episode was Margo's episode. I am a cancer survivor an had it at age 25 as well. She brought such joy to my heart and smile to my face. Her courage was unmeasurable! Simply beautiful. I was shocked to say the least at the dedication at the end. I got online to see her story. How wonderful she as blessed w/ marrying her soulmate and enjoying her dream. I am saddened she lost her fight, but touched by her strength! Prayers and blessings to her husband as well as the rest of her family. The love you all shared for her shown on your faces tenfold:) HUGS!

Beautiful beautiful girl... Her heart shined from the outside. I am very grateful to have the moment of catching her story while sharing the moment of finding her wedding dress. Sweet face gone too soon but what a blessing to have a moment to remember to say I love you to my husband every chance I get. Thank you sweet Margo and Heaven got lucky when you entered the gates.

RIP Margo, For some reasons I was stuck on the couch watching the show and was really amazed by your courage. I am in tears right now, I can't believe you left already.

What a shame to lose someone with so much life and potential. I just happen to catch the SYTTD episode by accident tonight while visiting a friend and was devestated at the end when we saw she lost her brave battle. Although she lost her body, she was an amazing being all the way to the end.
