My heart goes out to you all. I will always remember how Margaret treated me like family. I spent a good portion of my childhood with Maria & her family. I will never forget your moms laughing & joking & how she let me join in on family events. I often think about our Saturday trips downtown, the Chinese food nights & the 5 bucks that uncle Bill gave us for doing the dishes , thanks to your mom! Lots of good memories way too many to mention! Maria just think of how lucky you were to have a mom who also treated you like a friend as well as her daughter ! Just think of all the laughs you had!! Love to all, Paula - Posted by: Paula Orr (Friend of family) on: Apr 04, 2016
