    I am sorry to read of Margaret's passing. She was a classmate of mine at Herington High. I haven't seen her for years, but I have good memories of her.

    As I remember Margaret's theatric abilities and sense of humor displayed at HHS, I'm sure she brought many smiles to her patients and family over the years.

    Margaret was so much fun in band. She was an original when it came to playing the drumbs. I'm sad that she is gone, but I'll always remember her great sense of humor.

    I was shocked to hear Margaret had died. We did a lot together in high school. We lost contact maybe five years ago after my mother died. Patsy got her address early this year and wrote but got no answer. It's sad to lose a friend and classmate. I didn't know she had three grandchildren, but I'm sure she enjoyed them.

    Margaret was a classmate of mine. I have a lot of happy memories of Margaret. She was very active in Dramatics Club and Band as I remember. She always had a smile and could always cheer everyone up. I am sad to hear of her passing.

    I remember Margaret from church as well as high school. I especially remember the time she and I played two sisters in a play - what fun we had! My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jason, during this sad time.
