Dearest Cousins Charles, John and family.

My heart is so sad for your loss. Please accept Skip's and my deepest sympathy.

It is probably true that for my Aunt Margaret and your dear Mother, the time had come to say goodbye. She sounded so tired and weak the last time we talked.

I remember so much about her and its all good. Like the time she took me for my wedding gown during Moms serious illness. She was so helpful and we sure did have fun.

And let's not forget the surprise 35th wedding anniversary party for Mom & Dad. She helped plan it and execute it, and it wasn't easy keeping the whole event a secret.

Let's not even discuss the meatballs, oh how we miss those delights.

She was one of the kindest, most loving women I know. I will miss her so much and think of her often and with love.

Love,
Cousins Josette & Skip

My prayers are with all of you. Thank you for entrusting Margaret to our care - she was a great lady to the end. I feel very lucky to have shared time with her and she made a mark on my heart. She loved her family very much and never tired of going though the pictures and telling such wonderful stories about her life. She always said that she had a great life and her family was everything to her. I think that she came to feel very comfortable in her life here and you were all very attentive. She's at peace and we will all miss her but know that she enriched our lives. Thank you, Phyllis in Social Services Rest Haven
