I feel very blessed and lucky in so many ways to have had you in my life, and feel that I am a better person. I can’t thank you and Bob enough for being there for me, as TJ would not be in my life. You a strong woman who fought a tough battle, and I know you are at peace and in heaven. You are family to me, Eric, and TJ and will be GREATLY missed. Love you

Marg was like the sister I wished I had. I am so grateful to have visited her last week. When I offered to fill her water cup with some “gin and tonic” she managed a smile and rolled her eyes at me. Marg I love you and will never forget you my dear friend.

You were the best cousin over the years. I will greatly miss our visits, lunches and dinners that you made on a moments notice. Talking, laughing and sharing memories of family. Everyone you touched, you made feel welcome and loved. Rest In Peace Margie

Dear Bob: I was scrolling down the Turner & Porter site to see if details have been posted for the funeral of my sister-in-law who passed away early Jan. 2nd -- and saw the name MARGARET ROONEY. i am so sorry to read that Margaret passed away. May she Rest in Peace. Will try to come to the visitation on Friday evening.
You may not believe that I will be in St. Catharines at another funeral on Friday. My youngest daughter's Godmother passed away on December 31st. That's 3 funerals for the New Year. Please accept my sincerest sympathy in the loss of your dear wife. She will always be remembered.
