Margaret touched the hearts of everyone she met. Generous and kind, she was always there to offer support, wisdom and love. Throughout her life, she held an unwavering faith in God. Her devotion to her church and the support she received from Pastor Paul and friends there surely prolonged her life. The many kindnesses  of her friends and Superintendant Wayne at Colonel By Condos on Pearl Street were always appreciated. The family also thanks the medical team at Smiths Falls Hospital for their compassionate care over the past several weeks.
