She loved being a stay at home wife and mostly, mother. When the grandchildren came, she had new loves, but her children, though adults, were her babies. Andy passed in 2003 after 54 years of Marriage. Margaret understood the sorrows of losing someone loved. In addition to losing her beloved husband, she also experienced the immense loss of losing two children, a granddaughter and her twin sister. Each of them held a special spark of love. But the spirit within her could still enlighten your bad day. She was a beacon of hope for each of her children and the grandchildren whom she adored.
