Fond memories of Margaret’s strong personality. Fairly recently she rang me to remonstrate for a legal case where she thought I was arguing for the wrong side. We had fun playing together as children, I think just with Diane and Andrew. I remember being mortified at hitting Andrew with a stone from a slingshot. Haven’t felt so guilty before or since. Margaret was a great mother and community presence.
So sorry that Margaret has left us and she will be really missed by those close to her and her special family. She received wonderful support from family and friends, particularly in her later years and had a strong spirit and lively attitude. Rest in peace now Margaret after your wonderful life.
So sorry to read of Margaret's passing. I would loved to have spent more time exploring the family history with Margaret - an opportunity now lost. She will be with her beloved Bill having a catch up. Love to the family.
