  6. I only knew you for 2 short years, but in that time, I came to know you as my Rummikub and Scrabble buddy extraordinaire! Such enjoyable hours spent together. You were attractive, intelligent and delightful company. I will miss you so much. Rest in Peace now, my recent, valued friend. Sympathy from Norm and myself to your much loved family.

  8. Dear Margaret,
    As your youngest cousin I was always impressed by Nana’s and my dad’s pride in you and your academic achievements. Your independence trip to remote parts of Europe with friends was brave and groundbreaking in your generation. It inspired me. As an adult I admired the way you met life’s challenges directly and with dignity.
    Rest In Peace after a life well lived. With love and respect. Sally

  11. You will be in my heart forever Mum. I’m so proud to have had such a beautiful, intelligent and strong lady as my mother. Your dedication to caring for my special sister Karen and being a loving and supportive wife was beyond gold star. I loved every moment we spent together and you will remain the scrabble and rummikub champion! Rest In Peace my precious mother. 😘🥰

  12. I first met Margaret in 2004, soon after I was lucky enough to meet her beautiful daughter Jenn. She very quickly accepted me as part of her family and was always very kind to me. I am going to miss our little chats about the trials and tribulations of her beloved Cats and my Magpies. But most of all I will miss seeing and hearing her kindness to her family and those who had become her friends. Rest In Peace Margaret, you sure deserve it. Love you always.
