I'd like to express my deep sympathy to Margaret's family. I met Margaret at the old St. Catherine's Hospital, where she volunteered in the gift shop. She was always so faithful in her duties, and I enjoyed working with her and being a friend. After the old St. Catherine's closed, we were able to keep in touch with Margaret and many of the other volunteers through monthly breakfast at the Gateway Cafe--the 3rd Wednesday of each month. We so enjoyed these get-togethers! We missed her the last couple months--but a lot didn't come because of the weather. We did not realize that her health may have been a problem. We will remember her in our prayers, and we will miss her deeply. Lillian De Fazio and family

She raised a wonderful son and that is testament to what a good woman she was in life. She has moved on to another place where she will never know pain or suffering, only joy and love. I know that someday you will see her again.Our prayers are with her and her family.Kari and Jonah Klebba

Margaret will be missed at Aurora Medical Center where she was a loyal volunteer. She spent many hours manning the gift shop. She had many friends and people enjoyed stopping to chat with her. We will be honoring her memory at our annual Volunteer Luncheon in May.
