Hard for me to write amid the tears. Margaret was such a dear dear friend for so many years. We met when I was 20 years old (57 years ago ), just after my daughter was born. We raised our children together and spent all our spare time together. Happy for You to be with Don, Kitty and family. How very sad for Us, you are missed greatly.
