Margaret was such a bright light. She was smart, funny, kind and caring. I never saw her as much as I would have liked, but when you were in her presence, it was always a gift. She had an aura of warmth about her that made you feel special. She was the most considerate friend; jumping in to help her closest with any requests from decorating for a party, dog sitting, exercise advice or emotional support.

Lauren, Casey and Patric - you and your children were her world and her greatest joy. She loved spending as much time with you as she could - always sharing stories and photos. I am so sorry for your loss.

Margaret was elegant and beautiful inside and out. She will be missed by so many, but never forgotten

I was beyond sad to hear of Margaret´s passing. One could not have had a better-a more thoughtful and generous neighbor. We shared many laughs and cups of coffee as the school bus pulled away. Here´s to a restful send off-you earned it. Your children will miss you; but they carry your strong beautiful presence in their hearts. Godspeed

Lauren, Casey and Patric

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was the first person I met when we moved to Weston. She was helpful, generous, and a joy to all who new her. Her gregarious nature made her special! She loved you and the grandkids dearly! She had such pride in you all and always had an update of your lives to share.
Keeping her and all of you in my prayers. Sorry to miss her funeral but we also had a family loss.

I´m so saddened to learn of Margaret´s passing. Casey and I were great friends as kids, living a stones throw away, and I spent many days and nights over their house. She was always so kind, welcoming, nice to me, and a fantastic cook (I still refer to a special chicken dish as "Margaret´s Chicken").
Casey, Lauren, Patrick - I know it´s been decades since we last saw each other but want you to know I am thinking of you all at this time.
