Dodd:
My heart and prayers go out to you for your recent loss of such a wonderful woman that knew her. To lose a loved one to such an unforgiving disease is something no loved one should need to bear. Be strong.

Margaret,
When ever our family gets together, I am really going to miss your ever present great attitude and smiles. You and I go back a long ways, albeit, not seeing each other very often. But I always looked forward to seeing you, knowing your happy easy going nature. When I met you, you were "Punky" and I was 12? Little did I know then that you would grow up to become such an important person in so many peoples lives. Good by for now. The world will be a very different place without you!
