    We are all saddened with the news. Aunt Marg was always full of energy and could run rings around people half her age. All the family will miss her.

    Dear Jim and John:
    Your parents and my parents go way back to the 1950’s when you lived on Albert St. in Forest. There were many happy hours shared and I have such fond memories of your mother – the “glamour queen!” What a stunning lady! My deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family and may your memories bring you comfort.
    – Sandra

    We knew Margaret through The Stretton girls and had many occasions to be in her company. A wonderful lady – full of fun and we were saddened when Nancy told us of her passing. She will be greatly missed.

    I am the cosmetics manager at the Byron Shoppers Drugmart. I was shocked when I read the paper on Margarets passing. She was one of my favorite customers. She was always picking up extra toilet paper and paper towels for her son on Seniors Day. She was a great lady and will be missed at our store.
    Sincerely,
    Brenda Balcom
    Cosmetic Manager
