Margaret, or as we called her, "The Hugging Grandma", was a huge blessing to us and to my dad when he was at Hospice 11 years ago. He always enjoyed talking with her and getting a big hug from her. So sorry for your loss.

We will remember her with her beautiful smile and lovely white hair, warm under her U of L blanket and lovingly cared for by Nancy. Thinking of her and your family, knowing you were so blessed and very sorry for your loss. She is undoubtedly already standing with God.

My sympathies to Margaret's family, she was one of the most genuine people I have ever known and I'm so grateful our paths crossed in this life. I'm sure she was greeted with many hugs and will be a Guardian Angel watching over her family. I will always think of her and smile. I wish you all peace (and hugs).

We are thinking of all of you during this very difficult time. Margaret or as we fondly called her too, Grandmother, was the sweetest and most kind person, and we will always remember that beautiful smile she always had. Much love to Judy, Betty, Nancy and John, and to all Grandmother's special grandchildren.
