I've always thought a lot of Margaret. She was one of the finest Christian women I had the honor of knowing. Praying for the family that the Lord will provide you the comfort that only He can during this difficult time. Love to you all!

Many fond memories of Margaret at Fieldcrest Research Dept, the "lunches" welcoming all into her home, her laugh that would make anybody feel good, her smile, etc, etc. I know the family have so many memories to hold on to and cherish - remember the good times and they will outweigh the difficult ones. She most certainly always loved her family. Praying for all during this most difficult time.
