One of my favorite memories is getting together with Margaret for Friday night supper while our husbands were teaching night classes. As our children grew up we were always there for each other. I have missed Margaret so very much for the years I could not call her on the phone. How great that she recognized Kenneth and me the last time we saw her.
My heart goes out to each of you hoping that you can keep the memory of her love for each of you uppermost in your minds.
Margaret was my second cousin. She was my mom’s (Sarah Graves Baker) first cousin. I knew her growing up in the 50s and saw her and Rebecca again at a family get-together in the late 80s. She was a lovely lady and I’m sorry to hear this news.
