Watching the service for Margaret was so wonderful , to hear how much she was loved and all that she shared with her community was so amazing and memorable of the early years we were friends. I´m so pleased she lived a full and happy life but sad it was cut short as Margaret was one who deserved to live a longer life. I felt especially watching her life in photos and saw one of her and me. Lovely memories. X
