Even though I hadn't seen Mrs. Farnham in many years, she made a great impression on me. She was my babysitter through nursery school. I loved her dearly & she will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Although she may not be with you physically, she is with you in spirit... undoubtedly you will see her everyday in her grandchildren.

I am so saddened by Margarets sudden passing. I met her thirty years ago when I knocked on her door selling Avon. We became good friends and I treasure her friendship always. God Bless her loving family and may God give you all the strength you need for the days ahead. Even though she didn't know I was there last week I am glad I went to see her one last time.
