Just learned of Margaret's passing. We attended school and graduated together, she was a wonderful classmate and friend. I met Margaret at the Gaston County Library one night for a reading many years ago. She was wearing the most gorgeous hot pink leather jacket and looked amazing and that is the way I will remember her.
