You have done so much for so many people. I hope you can read everyone's heart-felt messages. I did not get to see you that often, but you were still a great grandmother. I will never forget when you and grandpa took me fishing for the first time, you might not think it was a big deal, but it meant the world to me. Everyone will miss you so much. I love you, and I hope we can all see each other again someday.

I love you beyond what I can even express and don't know how to even cope with what has happened. You were always here for me. I have so many memories of you but the most was the times we laughed till you and mom almost peed your pants over nothing. The family get togethers and Thanksgiving with you and uncle bob every year. You were not only a wonderful aunt to me but you were such a loving and caring person to everyone who knew you. You touched more hearts then you know. I will truly miss you more everyday that goes by and try and understand why God needed you so soon but I will be seeing you again someday and I know that you will watch over us everyday. I love you

Margaret was the rock around here for us. Always there, always caring and always there to pick someone up they were in need. Everyday you knew what to expect from her and we all looked forward to seeing her waiting for the rest of us to show since she was finished with half her day, all wide awake and smiling while the rest of us would still be trying to get started. O how we all we miss that! She was family to all of us in the best way. Mother, sister or just a good friend that seemed to know what role she needed to play at each moment. She can be never replaced and will always missed!

Things just aren't the same without you, Margaret. I can still see you peeking your head into the office just to say good morning or to make sure I was here I enjoyed having breakfast and lunch with you everyday, of course lunch was always more enjoyable, we did nothing but laugh the entire time. It's only been a little over a year that we've known one another, but I am glad to have met you. You're a very caring and giving individual as well as a great listener, you were definitley someone I could confide in. I know you're in a better place now; pain free, worry free, etc. Girl, you're livin' the life!
You will always hold a special place in my heart and you are definitely loved and missed!
