Margaret was a long time friend of our mother, Betty Blackman Marsh. We grew up in the same neighborhood where Margaret and Dave raised their kids. I have wonderful memories of the times our families spent together. She was a loving, caring friend to my mother after my father passed away an a young age. You kids, grown up kids now, and your parents were a big part of our growing up years. Your mother will be missed but remembered with love. I am so sorry that we are out of town and can't attend the service to honor her life, but know that we are there in spirit! Cindy, Molly, and Ron Marsh.
