I have many wonderful and fond memories of Aunt Margaret on my visits to Richmond. She always had a smile and spread happiness. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband of many years and her sons and their families. Wish we could be there in person to express our condolences, but we will be there in spirit.

Aunt Margaret, you will be missed. Family has and will always be the most important part of our lives. Your family has loved you so very much and will miss your being part of their future. I'm sure my father will miss your calls and I will miss hearing about them. With much affection, nephew Larry.
