I will never forget Maggie. I'm learning Cloud and think how she would have loved all this technology and she would have been so good at all of it. She would be running the whole technology area of the bank where we worked together. I miss her smile and her confidence. I miss her sweet happiness and her funny jokes. What a treasure. I hope her children can somehow know how much she loved being a mom and being their mom. I wish the best to all the family and friends who had the privilege of being in Maggie's life. Much love to everyone connected to Maggie. - Posted by: Stephanie Delzell (Friend) on: Feb 24, 2023

It has been 20 years since Maggie died. I often think of how brave she was. I remember when she told me that all was going to be OK. Her children would live wonderful lives because the future held such potential. She was resigned to not being a part of their lives even though she loved them with all her heart. She was a great person. Miss her still. - Posted by: Liz wilson (Friend) on: Jun 30, 2022
