Snookie -
I was so saddened to hear the news of Margaret passing away. Margaret and I were such good friends in our younger days. We were roommates for a while, I was in her wedding, and we had many fun times. I have fond memories of Margaret, swimming in your family pool, trips to the Outer Banks, and singing to the music of Elton John. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sad to hear that Margaret had left this world... So many fun memories from Frances Lacy days, dancing school at Betty Kovak's... Slumber parties, birthday parties, Martin jr. High days and then onto Broughton ... All the laughs, the talks, just being teenagers, loves, loss, the good and the hard times... Life is a journey... Love you "Cutie" ... Suzi
