It is with saddened hearts and wonderful memories that we announce that Wilhelmine Margaret Mary Precious lost her year long battle with cancer on October 28th in her 66th year. Margaret leaves behind her beloved husband of 30 years Robert Precious, her cherished children Kelly, Roni, Carrie, Beth and John, and step children Tara and Bobby. She will live forever in the hearts of her ten grandchildren and her adopted sons Jamsquid. We would like to thank the wonderful nurses Helen, Mari-a, and Rebecca, and her HSW Tammy, who made our mom feel loved and cared for throughout her final days. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Margaret's Life will be held on Wednesday, November 5th at 12pm at the MARLATT FUNERAL HOME "Swackhamer Chapel", 195 King Street West, Dundas.

I had the honour of holding your hand through this journey right up until your last breath and people keep saying how did you do it? Where did you find the strength? It's simple to answer isn't it mom. The answer is this....I AM my mothers daughter! I'm so proud of you, you did such an amazing job and I will cherish the time we got until the time comes where I can hold your hand again. I love you up to the sky, down to the ground and all around the world. Xoxo

R.I.P To one of the sweetest mother's I know. She loved her children and grand children more then anything else. And even though I was not blood she made me feel like I was. So many hugs and memories of singing on wooden spoons, and always making jokes and making me laugh. Such an amazing woman she was, and must be so proud to have raised such fantastic children. She might have left us to soon, but there are little piece of her walking around on this earth. Not only in her children and grandchildren, but with everyone she has touched in some way. Here's to you Marg one last time I sing to you " I've got you babe" http://youtu.be/BERd61bDY7k
