To Margaret's Family,

we are saddened about your Mother's and Grandmother's passing away. She was a dear friend, a smart and lovely lady. We always enjoyed visits with her and exchanged stories about our families.

Unfortunately, we found out too late about the service and were not able to attend.

We knew that the day would come when she had to leave, it is always too soon, and we miss her very much. it was a privilege to have known her.

May I extend my sincere sympathy to all Margaret's family.  What wondrful memories your families and friends will have shared with you! 

Margaret was always so interested in hearing what was happening when I would meet her.  I was always thrilled when she sent me a birthday card for it was obvious that she chose the message with care.  I enjoyed sharing stories of our ancestors with her.

Her spirit must have been reaching out in the past weeks as thoughts of her were in my mind several times before I heard the news.

Ma you find much consolation in your memories.

Your cousin

To the Ferguson family,

  My deepest condolences on Margaret's passing. I have many memories of much time spent either me and my sisters at your place or you kids across the road at our place. I don't think I ever heard Margaret raise her voice,no matter how many kids were there on top of her own brood, for birthday parties or any event. She was a very special lady, always interested in my family whenever we crossed paths.

My condolences to Margaret's children,

Your mother was such a kind and thoughtful person toward me, always so gracious and sure to include me in coffee or a luncheon get-together in days past.  She had been a childhood friend of my father (Clarke Colling) and always delighted me with stories of school-day memories. Her life was well lived. She was a lovely lady.

Carol & Bill & family:  

May God keep you and yours in his embrace at this difficult time and may you know that others share in your grief.  From how I have heard you talk about your mom, I know you felt blessed to have had her in your life for as long as you have; still that does not ease your sadness now.  She sounds like she was a lovely woman and she has raised at least one lovely daughter by example.  My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
