Margaret’s faith in the Lord was an inspiration to her family and friends. Visitors to the farm were warmly welcomed by her, and they often found her in the greenhouse or garden. There were no strangers in her life, all were welcome at the farm. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation to a charity of your choice, or planting a flower in her name.
