Margaret was a lovley, kind and thoughtful lady. She asked me to share many Christmas mornings with her and her daughter, Janet's wonderful family. I will be eternally grateful for her kindness and such a wonderful priviledge to know and love Margaret. God bless her.

Legend has it that the builder may have been tipsy when he poured the foundations for 278&282 Forest St, the only houses around that had the back doors facing each other...as luck would have it, the doors were never locked and right next door to me lived the Best Godmother ever! Never missed an event in my life, a weekend on the Cape became a full summer (or 3) on the Cape. Treated me better than her own, serving 75 consecutive lunches of peanut butter on toast (just for Me!), summer after summer!
Hosted Christmas mornings for decades, complete with songbooks and musicians!
How do you not love a Godmother that sits front row with you for the WWWF at the Cape Cod Coliseum and ended up with George Steele in her lap!
Oh sweet hour I Love you so much, Margaret! Best Godmother ever!!
Condolences to the large Hunt family, of which(thanks to a tipsy builder) I´ve always felt a part!
Rest in Peace, Margaret!
