Margaret was always like a second mom to me. Our laughs & as she would hear my cries. She´s done nothing but love me almost a whole decade. She´s seen me at my worst & helped me at any cost, then watch me grow into a mother. I could go on about so many stories as to what she has done for me. She is & was a beautiful woman! I love her very dearly & miss her so very much. She´s was so sweet as the cookies she has very much made

Margaret and I worked together in real estate. She was the best, so calm and cool, and so funny. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. May cherished memories bring the family comfort.

Margaret was a kind soul! She loved helping people and she loved her friends and family. She was our realtor and helped us find our first home. I remember when we walked through the doors of the house and she said, "you go see it, I´ll meet you in the kitchen". I came down downstairs and gave her a look and she said "I knew this was your house the moment I saw it. I just wanted to see your face when you saw it. I´ll get the papers ready".
She was a wonderful lady!! I´m so sorry for your loss and heartbreak!

There will always be a spot missing in my heart for you. You were a second mom to me and my boys and there are no words to explain how deeply you have touched our lives. You will always be loved and greatly missed. We love you to the moon and back.
