Monica and Theresa, although words seem to say so little, may they help in some small way to ease the sense of loss you are experiencing. Your mom's genuine kindness touched many. I am so grateful for having known her. My heart goes out to you and your family. - Posted by: Joanne Alexopoulos (friend) on: May 07, 2012

I will always remember Margaret's laugh..so cute and infectious. I loved spending the day with Margaret & the girls. She taught me many things: How to pluck a chicken; make perogies; count to 3 in Urkrainian; and I was amazed by her vegetable garden...loved eating carrots right from the garden. So sorry Charlie, Saw & Mon on Margaret's passing. Thinking of you everyday. MaryAnne - Posted by: MaryAnne Leonidas Mader (Niece) on: May 04, 2012

I only met Margaret once. But since I was a friend of Monica's, she treated me like a son. My life, and the life of every other person she touched, is better for having known her.

Growing up, Mom would always tell me how "Auntie Marg" was her favourite aunt. It wasn't so remarkable, then, that she was my favourite great aunt. What a kind, loving soul, always doing and thinking for others instead of herself. Auntie Marg, you had a profound impact on all our lives and you will be greatly missed. Please tell Grandma hello! - Posted by: Dustin Luckwell (Great-Nephew) on: May 02, 2012
