I did not have the pleasure of meeting my aunt margery, but the people that knew her growing up in tempo in northern ireland, talked of the very attractive woman with a very good sense of humour. To Gary, Cindy, Renee, Katie, Rhonda, Mike , Emily be proud that she was a part of your life and she passed on virtues and beliefs which will live on in you. I offer you my sympathy at this time.
Love to all
Your cousin Geraldine.

I am so glad that I got to know Margaret from taking care of her at Morning Breeze. She was one of my favorite little ladies to take care of. She was so sweet and cute as could as could be. I miss her alot and it is not the same not seeing her smiling her face and her telling me she loved me as I would tell her I loved her too. She felt like family to me and I will always remember her and how sweet she was. With my deepest sympathy to your family.....Heather Goss
