Margaret and I were friends in Tecumseh schools. I have many fond memories of sleep overs at her farm, driving around town, having dinners together before games, and finding fun all along the way. My condolences to her family.

Remember our high school days and working for your dad in the summertime cultivating corn. I also remember Sunday school class at the Vesta Methodist Church. I also remember you, Dwight and your family when you lived in Tecumseh. May you rest in peace and thoughts and prayers to your family.

Margaret was the most caring and nicest lady you could ever ask for to be your neighbor. Anytime she seen you a smile would come to her face and always a Hi, as she walked her dog. She would walk her dogs 2-3 times a day. I had daycare kids out walking and she walked with us, helping me keep them all in line. I’m going to miss her so much…the family was so blessed to have a wonderful mom and grandmother. Thoughts and prayers to all of you
