May the God of all comfort grant you the solace you may need during such a challenging time. God has said at Isaiah 51:12,"I myself am the One comforting you".

My name is Molly Maberry Brown. My young family was blessed to 'really' get to know Margaret after I somewhat knew her being Kathy Lewis' buddy..We have been talking about her all week..and definitely some favorite memories are of Husky games, where our then very young son would be told to behave when by Margaret and Bill, and invariably he would see her from a distance, raise his hand high, waving frantically: 'There's Margaret! Hi Margaret!' and proceed to sit right next to her and yak her ear off the entire game..with zero complaint from her. She was so many things...such a beautiful and graceful lady. My heart aches for all of you at the loss of one so very dear.
