  6. What can i say!

    There is so much Margaret did for our family and more importantly for me during very dark periods.

    I owe Margaret so much for her positivity and compassion.
    May you be safe in the arms of jesus, reunited with all those who have gone before her.

    To all Margaret's family, take time to reflect on the deeds that your mother has done. Cherish those hugs, phone calls emails and all else she gave.

  9. Dearest Margaret,

    Thank you for welcoming me into your life with such open arms and kindness. You became so much more to me than just “Bron’s mum”. You were someone I genuinely treasured and always felt so comfortable around.

    I will miss our little chats and the laughs, and the days where we could pop in and see you during our breaks. I feel so lucky to have known you and to have shared the last couple of years with you.

    Dear Bron, Chris, Stella and Harrison.

    My heart breaks for you at this incredibly sad time. I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your beautiful mum and nanny. I cannot imagine the pain of saying goodbye to someone who meant so much.

    Re-united with her beloved Barry and Mark xxx
