I remember Margaret fondly from working with her at USFWS in the 1970's until she retired in the mid-80's. She was always smiling and cheerful no matter what. She was also a great storyteller. I'm pleased to hear she had such a long and loved life.

Mom #2 - too many memories all wonderful! Her laughter. Her love for her family. Her kind heart. And her caring heart. I suppose one of my special memories was when I had cancer and was fighting for my life. She encouraged me with her cancer survivor story, prayed for me with all of her "saints "that she prayed to for sickness. And called me many times to make sure my spirits were high and I never lost hope.

My mother´s best friend. My mother´s biggest supporter in life.

And our families, dear friend, who will live in our hearts forever.
