Our deepest condolences and prayers are with everyone. As much as we wish, we are very sorry that we can not be there with you at this difficult time as we live so far apart. Please know that we are very sad over the loss of my Aunt Margaret and all of you are in our thoughts.

I remember the many times I visited my family overseas and the great memories with Aunt Margaret. She was always so cheery and kind. I stayed with her at different times. As all of my relatives did, she took great care of me and I never forgot all of the love and kindness she expressed. I remember playing at her house at 5 yrs old, driving in a pedal car she had for the little ones. A story I still tell to this day. When she was well, not a Xmas went by without a new calander from her. It's sure times like this that we realize it is the little things that matter in life.

Fortunately, we all got to see her and cousin John when they came to visit us in Toronto in 2009. It helps to know I got to see her within recent memory and we had a great time! She visited my home on Father's Day and met my wife and 3 kids (3 more kids since then). John (my wife calls him Chef Ramsey) cooked a great meal on the BBQ for all of us, the weather was fantastic and it was a time we will always cherish and remember. I am greatful for that time I got to spend with her here in Canada. I know she was so happy to finally make it over here.

My mom and dad are really saddened about the passing of their sister (sister-in-law), as they were really close over the years, staying in touch by phone, and through mail. Being up in their elder years themselves, traveling is not as easy as it once was, but they have Margaret and all of you in their thoughts and hearts. A mass has been said for her here in Canada and this morning we woke at the time of her funeral (10am your time, 5am ours) to remember her. God Bless her always.

With all our love,

James and Family from Canada
