Even tho we were not blood related, in my heart you were always my Grandma Margaret. I wonder if you even know how many lives you touched. You were always so loving, giving, kind, and caring... to everyone. You will be deeply missed by so many! You treated me & my family as if we were a part of your family, and for that I'll always be thankful and grateful. I don't think I ever said this to you before, but thank you for everything you've done for my niece (your grand daughter) Erin. You were like a mom to her, when she really needed one. I believe she is the loving and kind person she s today, because of you and your influence in her life. I promise I will do all I can to help her through this. If you see my son up there, can you give him one of your warm & loving hugs please? Rest in Peace Grandma Margaret! You are forever in my heart <3
