To Margaret’s family:
My sincere condolences to you all on the passing of Margaret, such a lovely lady. From the time I was a young girl growing up in Sandy Cove, Margaret and Doug and their store held a special place in our community. Margaret was always kind. When I had an opportunity to talk to her a few years ago, she remembered me and was still that very kind person. Loving Christmas, I always looked forward to the beautifully decorated yards that she and Norma had every year and that these two sisters were so close, was always something I thought was so wonderful. I will always remember Margaret with fondness. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time.

Dear Cindy & Peter
Our sympathy in the passing of your dear mother . Margaret was a very strong woman and well known in our community . It is hard not to think about her as you drive by the beautiful White House going to Liverpool from Brooklyn . As you come down over the hill , I would always think about your Dad and now your Mom. This part of our history will certainly be missed .
Sending you our sincere sympathy and warm thoughts
