I am so sorry to hear of Margaret’s passing. She was a wonderful friend to my parents, Flick and Smitty Gerkin from Hudsonville. They spent lots of time together at Sunnybrook and many vacations together. Such great memories of their times together.

Some people maintain a positive attitude in spite of the ups and downs of life, like a ship staying on course as it heads to a distant port. They find peace through acceptance, spread joy with smiles, and express love through their concern for others. Aunt Margaret was a role model for me. When I think of her I will be reminded that truly fine people exist in this world. I miss you Aunt Margaret.

Aunt Margaret made her mark on my family in California. Miles didn’t dim the love and we all hold so many fond memories. Thanks for touching our hearts and sharing laughter along the way.

My beautiful dear sister, best friend and confidant. my heart is heavy but so full of memories. I know you are where you want to be. Life was no longer a pleasure for you and you didn't want to be a burden to anyone. I'm happy you are in your heavenly home and a little jealous you get to laugh with Don and Charlie. I'll be joining you a little later. Our bond will never be broken. Thanks for being my loving and fun "big sister". Save me a place, Ruthie
