Aunt Margaret was so skilled at so many things! She was a great cook (I remember that wonderful chocolate cream pie), a talented seamstress (what elegant tailored clothing for herself and her 3 girls), and most of all, a loving and loyal family member to so many others. She was certainly a believer in disciplining kids, but she could be sharp to those she felt were unfair or threatening to any of her kids, nieces, or nephews, and I assume her grandkids as well. We've lost someone very important to our family, but we have many, many memories to comfort us..

Aunt Margaret was more than an aunt. She was and will always be one of our four mothers. We were blessed to have had her in our lives. She very much enjoyed her family especially at the end. I know she is in a better place and is looking after all of us. WE LOVE YOU and WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH! GOD BLESS YOU!
