    Margaret and Greg were wonderful neighbors. Trick or Treat was a special time with Mitch getting a special treat bag from them. Margaret advised us on rabbit rearing when our dog found a nest of newborn rabbits in Mitchell’s old sandbox. Unfortunately, despite her good advice, they didn’t make it beyond the box in our house. Our shared fence was the place of many conversations!

    Margaret, you will be missed! Our condolences to your entire family.

    I had the honor of meeting and getting to know Margaret recently through a mutual good friend. You were always smiling and I loved hearing all your stories! I thank you for your service and you will be missed my dear. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.
