Margo lived across the street from us, and we loved having her as a neighbor. She was always out working in her yard, tending to her beautiful flowers and even mowing her own lawn until just a couple of years ago. She walked the neighborhood every day and always had a smile and a pleasant word. She seemed to take an interest in children, always asking what they were up to. We miss her sweet smile and wonderful spirit!

Margo was such a nice neighbor. Walking the area and speaking to all of us. We had an 80th birthday lunch for her and she so enjoyed it. She will be missed.
