I will never forget that beautiful smile and big hug Ms. Margaret(as she was called by many of us who grew up in Saratoga) gave me the last time I was in her presence. My memories are of her kindness and always passing out treats to my little brothers when they went to get their hair cut years ago by her husband, Mr. Archie. My deepest condolences to Gloria, Junnie, Jackie and all of the Colander family.
Much love to you all.
