We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Margaret. We are very grateful that we had the opportunity to meet her and many of the family a few years ago. We think about you and talk of you often. We hope that you will find peace and comfort as you mourn the passing of this great lady.
She was a great friend to Richard and I and we both loved her dearly. She will be missed I know. She was proud of her family. She loved to joke and laugh. She was a hard worker. Condolences to you Skip and Helen and to the rest of the family. You were blessed have had her so long.
I worked at Manor Care with Margaret about 5 yrs ago and she was always one of my favorites. She was so full of spunk and so much fun. She lived a good long life. She was always working on a afghan for someone in her family. I still have a scarf and a dish towel that she crocheted for me. What a wonderful woman she was! May you cherish all the wonderful memories of her.
Skip and Helen, You have my deepest sympathy in the passing of your Mom. I always enjoyed her and her smile. May God be with you in this time of sorrow.
My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to Aunt Margaret’s family. She was a GREAT person and I have many fond memories of her. The stories she would share when coming down to Wilton and spending time with Grandma Duffe. Grandpa Tuttle getting up in the morning and shaking his finger at them as he had heard them talking way into the night. They would just look at each other…smile and shake their heads. I also remember family get togethers in the basement of the house in Anamosa. When we would go to see Aunt Margaret, we would think that we were pretty hot stuff, since we were allowed to walk up town to the bakery and such. We weren’t too far from the swimming pool at the park either and sometimes we would be lucky enough to have our swimsuits with us. She made the best Kolaches in the world. Aunt Margaret you will be missed, but I have many memories to hold onto and share with other. I love you.
