Dear Jane, Nigel, and Regan. I met Marg and Jo through Jane and co. I may have only met them a few times, but some people make an instant impact in your heart. This happened to me. What a beautiful send off , and I felt lucky to be able to watch the ceremony on live streaming. Rest in peace Marg, heaven has a new angel xxxoooxxx
With great love and respect Margaret and thanks for being a wonderful grandmother to Jackson and friend to me and my family. Your life was in service of others and you made a difference. Love you always. Xx
Memories of those years we worked together on the programmes we introduced to so many schools over the Bay of Plenty. I was so fortunate to have Margaret's delightful sense of humour, dedication to supporting the teachers and the children for whom the programmes were written, and as a travel companion. Your love of your family and the care you gave to Joseph when he was unwell showed just what a loving devoted person you were . Rest now in peace. Colleen
A LETTER TO HEAVEN Heavens gain is our loss with the passing of Margaret. She dedicated her life to her family and a countless number of school children that she taught and she was always there if ever anyone was in need. Although Genie moved to Australia 38 years ago, she always treasured fond memories of her time with Margaret, Joe and their children, Victor, Leslea and Richard, especially the bubble and squeak with cold meat that Margaret served up. Farewell Margaret, the lady with a heart of gold. May you rest in peace.
