My sweet friend, I will miss our long texts and wonderful visits. I'm so glad we had the chance to reconnect these past few years! I wish I'd had the chance to meet your wonderful sons under better circumstances, and am glad you had the chance to meet Bill, Hannah and Sam. I cherish the memories of the life adventures that we shared and you will always be in my heart. Rest in pain-free peace knowing you've been an amazing mother, sister and friend; Risa and I will ALWAYS be there for Andy, Matt and Sam if they need ANYTHING! LOVE Sue
Margaret was a wonderful person. I had the privilege of working with her when she lived in California. Once she stopped working we would meet for lunch every other month or so and talk and laugh. I will always cherish our talks. I'm so blessed to have known her. Such a lovely lady. Love, Carmen
