I was very sad to learn of Margaret’s passing. She and I were ushers together at Christ Episcopal in Blaine for many years.
Since she moved, I have visited her a couple of times and talked to her on the phone. I knew she was failing, but she did not seem to want visitors,
You are blessed to have had her in your life as was I.
