The world is a little sadder with Margaret gone, but Heaven is a little happier. She was a wonder person and will be missed by many!! No one else took pictures of everyone like she did. I'm sure she is playing a Poker machine and smiling down at all of us. Our hearts go out to Frank, her children and all the rest of her family. She will forever be in our hearts!!!!

Our family will truly miss Margaret. We didn't spend a lot of time together but she will be sorely missed at the annual family Christmas celebration. From my Mother (Margaret's cousin), she is deeply saddened by her passing. She will always cherish the times they spent together as children and adults. Our everlasting love and peace goes out to her family.
