So sorry to hear of Margarets passing. The Margaret I knew was loving positive and a joy to be around. Will be sadly missed. Condolences to all the family members.
I can't believe that Margaret is gone. I met Margaret in 1992 when I joined the staff at the Diocese of Huron. Immediately we struck a friendship. It was a pleasure to go to work every morning and spend the day with Margaret. We remained friends even after leaving the Synod office. Margaret was my rock. She always gave me good advices, if something was bothering me after speaking with her I would feel better. I will miss our conversations, your positive attitude, thank you Margaret for your friendship. Deepest Sympathy to Gordon and all the family. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.
