Margaret, was an absolute delight and I counted her as a wonderful Sister Sodalist and friend. Although a newer friend, I felt like I had known her most of my life. Her gift of humility and speaking from the heart endeared her to many people and especially to me. She was honest and full of vigor. Her – authentic self was fun, loving, truthful and her attitude . . . was to be admired. I will miss this beautiful lady. I will always keep her in my heart.
God Bless you sweet Margaret.
