How sad to learn about Margaret's tragic death. She was definitely a unique person. I really admired her determination and spunk. She never gave up on getting what she wanted back then.Debbie Moose (Clark)
MargaretWas a sweet but interesing lady I enjoyed talking to.
The last time I talked her she was working at Lowes with Nathan.
I always expected her to do good in her life and pray for her Family and her Child who will never know how special she really was. She was very sweet. Life is too short.

I miss her. Still. She was my best friend then and the only person I kept up with after high school. We partied a lot together until 1991 when I moved out of Texas. I cannot imagine any memory of childhood without her in it. I recently found many handwritten letters from her. So bittersweet. Rest in peace, Marge.
