I am sorry that we were not able to attend either the visitation or service, but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I only met Marg a few times, but always appreciated her sharing her research on the Ford/Taylor/Finlay families with the other researchers in the family.

Just wanted to relay how sorry I am to hear of Marg's passing. I have missed seeing her on the street and sharing a word or two with her in passing this last year or two.

My deepest condolences to the whole family.

Dear Sandra, Paul and families;  Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your Mom.  Marg was a kind and wonderful lady and will be missed by many.  Your mother was so very kind to my Mom, always checking in on her after church. We will always cherish the times we saw each other at the legion and   the visit with her at Bev Thompson's birthday party last August.  Thinking of you all during this difficult time.
