I was so very lucky to have Auntie Margaret as a part of my life and will always treasure her. We frequently spoke and I will miss her voice, sense of humor and advice.



Some of my fondest childhood memories are when Uncle Cliff used to take us out in the boat. They had such a warm loving relationship.



I know that Connie has a huge space to fill in her heart.

I don't know you, or your family, but I saw the chocolate cake recipe. This week my 2 nieces were staying with me for Spring Break. We made the cake in her memory, and in the hope that I can be as memorable an aunt as she was.

So very sad to read of Margaret's passing. It's so very true that she was all about loving people, warts and all. I have such fond and warm memories of spending all my time at Connie's house in high school, of that bright and cheery kitchen. It was there I learned to love peas with dinner, and gentle humor with everything. Our birthdays were only two days apart, and she rarely forgot to send me a card, and we talked on the phone occasionally over the past 10 years. I shall miss knowing she's on the Earth, and the Earth is poorer for her absence. My deep sympathies to her wonderful family.
