Margaret was the FIRST FRIEND I met at The Landings when we moved here in 1999.

We actually met the first time in a doctors office waiting room, where she was waiting with Joe for an appointment. I came in with my husband, Tom, who was complaining of pain from a kidney stone. Poor Tom. Margaret didn't know what he looked like for months, because he was curled up in pain. We laughed about that for years, just like we laughed as we waited with Joe and Tom that day at the doctors.

Two days later Margaret and I were at the same luncheon, where I knew no one. She saw me come in and stood up to get my attention so I could sit with her. The day after that we were at the grocery store at the same time. She said we need to have a drink together because we obviously think alike. So from then on we were friends.

So many dinners, drinks, and celebrations over the years with Margaret and Joe making all of our lives so happy and comfortable. I know we will miss her dearly. I am so happy to have spoken with her three days before her passing.

Cheers Margaret. Tom and I love you.

Margaret was a dear friend. We met when she started working at Noxell, and we became friends almost instantly. We still called each other on birthdays and Christmas even after I moved to Tennessee 11 years ago. Sometimes those calls lasted close to an hour. She was a spunky little lady -- I always admired her for it.

Margaret always talked about Lilli and Chuck and Joe and the grands. We often caught up on people we remembered from work although most of them have long been retired.

I wish I could attend the celebration of Margaret's life on the 9th, but distance prohibits that. However, I will have a sip of Johnny Walker in her memory. She would like that.

Dear Lilli, Connie passed on word of your Mom's passing. I am so sorry to hear this. I was always jealous of you for having such a young and cool mother--mine was 40 when I was born and seemed hopelessly old. In those days, 40 was not the new 20! I will not be in Baltimore next weekend for the celebration but please know I will be thinking of you.

Margaret was my littlest friend with the biggest heart and a zest for life who would be the life of this party! As a missing member of the Savannah Swamp Survivors, she is terribly missed. RIP dear friend.

Miss Margaret was a very sweet lady. I will allways remember the good times we all spent together back on Glenhaven Road.

Margaret was one of my absolute favorites. I really loved her and her huge smile. I'm so grateful that I was able to speak with her a few times in the last several months. Thank you for contacting me and inviting me to the celebration.

I remember the first time I met Margaret... Lilli and I were asleep in one of the bedrooms in Margaret's house, as we had flown from California late the night before, and I remember waking up to Margaret poking my nose and cheeks with her finger remarking how cute my freckles were. She was always entertaining to be around, and I enjoyed spending time with her.

Margaret was a dear friend. No matter where we were, she would ALWAYS call me over or come over to me and give me a KISS on the cheek. I will be looking for that KISS on the cheek when we meet again.

Often times you don't realize at the moment the memories you're making. I have many. I remember Margaret's husband, Joe, at Jenn's Savannah wedding. She was so delighted that he danced with me. I remember parties at Chuck and Pat's where we'd sit on the couch in the basement and reminisce about other times. Margaret was always good for a laugh and a kiss. At the beach--oh she shined.

Margaret, thanks for the memories, and the talks, and the laughs. Enjoy your time at rest. I hope they serve your favorite brand of Scotch.

I have so many wonderful memories of my "pseudo" grandmother over my 36 years of knowing her, but a recent one really makes me laugh and sticks out most in my mind...

Everytime I would see Gran over the past couple years -- since having Carrie in my life -- Gran would always pull me aside and the first thing she would say to me (after a hug and kiss, of course) would be, "You're taking good care that girl of yours, right?" And I would always laugh and say, "Yes, of course, Gran!" And she would smile and node and say, "Good!"

It warmed my heart to know that Carrie and I had Gran's support and love. And it always made me laugh that she was so concerned for Carrie and her happiness -- even though she was MY Gran before she was Carrie's.

I will miss her dearly and will always be thankful for her presence in my life.

My cherished memory is Margaret coming to Christmas Eve dinner and telling me she "doesn't know how I do it." She was always so caring and loving to me. She became Grandnma to our family, since all of ours are gone. She would call me and say, "Come and see me." She holds a special place in my heart. I will miss her.

I well recall sitting at table with Margaret and listening to her answer questions about dealing with male bullshit in the workplace in her early years. I enjoyed her humor and her perspectives thereupon.
