Maggie brought so much joy when she would squint her eye and stick her tongue out at you anytime you made her laugh. She is missed!

My condolences to Margaret's family. The last time I saw Margaret was at the Culvers in Schererville. We met to discuss family history and share some old family pictures. Maggie and my mother were first cousins, and their moms (Clara Wehner Raab and Margaret Wehner Krieter) were sisters. May your wonderful memories of Maggie bring you comfort in the days ahead.
