I was so sorry to learn of Maggie’s passing. I remember my Mom and Dad spending a lot of time with her and Donnie. To her family you have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Linda,
My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I was saddened to hear of Margaret’s passing. Although I know her suffering and struggles are over for her she will be missed. Margaret lived across the hall from me and was a wonderful neighbor. She was always making desserts for all of us in our hallway. She spoiled us with her delicious food.
