Although I am a distant relative, I wish to convey my respects about your Margaret's passing on. She is listed in my family tree, and I have found another Margaret Marshall, as well, aside from myself. My connection is with MTC Marshall & Josie Bulow (sp?) Marshall on my father's side in Arkansas. I'm in CA. You are all in my heart.

Hank,
Sorry to hear about your loss. I realized she was gone when I went down yesterday to see Margaret and realized no one was there and she had passed. She thought of you as her son and you had brought much happiness. It was a blessing knowing her and being a part of our family.

Margaret was our back door neighbor for many years and there was no one more generous and kind. She took my daughter,Sallie, to the beach with her many years ago when sallie was very young . Margaret always had time for her. She will always be remembered by our whole family. We are sorry to hear of her passing.

So sorry to hear of this. She was valued by our family, especially Michael, Matthew, and Lisa. She was their adopted grandmother with many fond memories of her often discussed by us.
