I have never been blessed to know a real lady, until I met Margret, Through all the hard times in her last days here with us, she always smiled, treated us with respect and stayed patient, She was a courageous lady and loved by so many, She truly was a lady and i will miss her. My Condolences to the family, you never left her side, she was very fortunate to have all of you close to her, and this proves she was a loving and caring member of your family.
