"She was some woman who was so interesting and interested in everyone. I loved her conversations. Aunt Margaret was so loved by us all. Such an amazing, beautiful woman. May she rest in eternal peace."
"I feel so blessed to have had her in all of our lives, although we were miles apart, I felt she was always just right there with us xx"
