From My Heart to yours Peter, Art and Maryon,… and to this entire family, that now misses the places that she is not, my empty words today seem SO little. She was the WORLD to many, dearly loved, included in that list, way down there, by me too. I cannot imagine how huge your void is. Please KNOW that the many who loved your Margaret, love you too. Friends, and you as a team of family, will help each other keep her memory vivid….always with kindness and that warm smile. So love one another dearly, as she did you. It is as she wanted……..her time of struggle is done. May we meet again…… in the grace of God.
Wish I was with you all to make this so much more personal , but I will there with my arms soon.
God Bless. May there be peace in your heart soon. Draw on His Love and Comfort. It IS there for all .

I was so sorry to hear of Marg’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with Marg for 20 plus years at Bradord. Marg was extremely brave and fought her illness with fierce determination for many years. She never complained about the hand she had been dealt and was always so optimistic about the future. She will be missed by all who knew her. Pete, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

On behalf of The Bradford Group, please accept our deepest condolences. We were saddened to hear of her passing and thinking of Peter and family during this difficult time. Marg was wonderful to work with. She always had photos of her loved ones at her desk and spoke of how proud she was of her family. Marg and Peter always attended the annual holiday parties and their love for eachother was evident. Marg had fought a tough battle and never complained. Marg is missed.

Margaret was a dear friend from childhood. we first met when we lived on William S t. in Lucan. We continued our friendship once we moved to Beech St. After we started high school at Medway we drifted apart. T, he last time I think I saw her was in St Josephs Hospital. I had just had a procedure done & Margaret came in with her first baby to visit me. A lot of years have gone by since then, too many. I send my deepest sympathies to May, Art & Patricia. we will all meet someday at the end of the road.
