Paul, Megan and Katherine, I used to live next door to you in the Beustring home. I am Glenn and Jessica's mom. I just heard of your loss and I am so very sorry. Margaret was a wonderful person and this was shocking and horrible news to hear. I'm sure she is in heaven watching over each of you.

Megan and Jose: Thanks so much for sharing your mother with us at your wonderful in-laws house. She was a true delight telling us her numerous travel adventures. Her loving nature showed in so many ways specially when she looked at her grandson. My family and I share in your loss and want to keep her giving spirit by donating to her Church that was dear to her. Fondly, Lourdes Border (co-worker DEA to Jose and Nitza Laboy).

I am so sorry that Margaret has left this world. I enjoyed everything I ever did with Margaret. She was fun, did everything well and was so encouraging. I am so sorry that that I did not get to visit with her more. I called her right before she went for surgery asking for advise for a friend. She was so helpful and encouraging even the day before she went to St Lukes. I had a recovery Lalique gift waiting for her. Now I will donate to her church instead... I am so sorry for the family's great loss. Her passing is a terrible loss to her friends and community as well. She will be missed. With Sympathy, Andrea
