Margaret is my mum’s cousin. As children in Scotland they were close but when she moved to Canada and mum moved to the US they didn’t see each other as often. I got reacquainted with Margaret through Facebook. She was a very lovely lady and i will miss her.
Wishing our deepest condolences.

I am one of those persons on whom Margaret had “a profound impact”. I always appreciated our brief visits in the pews prior to a worship service at Christ Church. As well, I was privileged to sit with Margaret in the dark days which followed her loss, both at the time of her son’s unexpected death, as well as her husband’s death. God speed, Margaret!

We were so sorry to hear of Aunt Margaret's passing. Despite our distance, she always kept in touch and was across the family's news.
Our hearts go out to you and your family, Elena, and we wish you nothing but comfort and peace at this trying time.
With all our love,
Matthew, Gina, Fin and Meg
