I have been blessed to know Margaret and to continue to have her forever in my heart
Love and prayers

She taught me love & forgiveness, humility & pride in a job well done, persistence & perserverence, patience &, hopefully, some of her wisdom has worn off on me. We were neighbors, fellow airline people, community members, & friends.
I had been sending texts (& memes, funny pictures, old memories) almost daily since late August, until she was too sick to write, & then, I kept in touch with Carl. As much as I prayed for her suffering to be over, she will be missed... greatly.
Fly with the angels, dearest Margaret.
