Dear Pat and Family,
We here at MariElders were saddened to hear of Margaret's passing. We recall all the fun we had when she was here...all the picnics, walks and overnight trips. Margaret was one of a kind and a good friend. She will always be in our memory and our prayers. Love, Barbara Anderson

I had the pleasure of doing Margaret's hair for a long while. I always said she had the hair of a 40 year old, even at 90! It was an honor to know her and I will not forget her spunk and hope to be as spunky if I get to be 98. Rest in peace Margaret! You carry on in the memories of all who love you.

I am so glad I saw Aunt Margaret in March. When I left she said, "See you in heaven!" She was a great role model and inspiring Christian. I always loved her.

My father Sam admired and loved his sister Margaret so much. I didn't get to see her very often but when I did, they were wonderful memories, I will always hold close to my heart. Love you Aunt Margaret. You will be missed.
