Marg will always be, one of the most wonderful people! My condolences to her family they meant the world to her.
I will always remember in the 1990´s, quilting with her in Faith hall, at Laingsburg First Congregational Church. She would tell of friends, family, and things remembered. She shared several guilt free recipes. Later, when she heard I planted rows of raspberries, she made a standing order for 8 quarts (or more), to make a family favorite raspberry pie. Although she would never disclose that recipe to me.
Remembers with love,
Pat Hursh
