Margaret was such a joy to have as a volunteer at the Spence Street Thrift Shop. Always came in with a smile, friendly and respectful of all customers. The family was always attentive at getting her there and picking her up at the end of a shift. She was very blessed to have had your kind and considerate attention so she could continue to contribution to Pregnancy and Family Support Services as long as she was physically able. Good for you for taking such good care of her. I'm sure you will miss her. So sorry her smiling face is no long with us. - Posted by: Christine Strutt (Former Coordinator at Spence Street Thrift Shop/) on: Nov 14, 2014
