Auntie Margaret was a smart, strong, lovely woman. I admired her very much -she was an inspiration to me and I am sure many other people. My Mom and Dad enjoyed visiting with Margaret and Jim when they would go to Florida or on their visits to Winnipeg. We are all very saddened at the loss of her and send our heart felt condolences to Jim, Jacquie, Jeff, her grandkids and the rest of the family. Wish we could be there today to celebrate her wonderful life with you. Sharon and family, Loren and family, John and Doreen Howk - Posted by: Sharon and family (Niece) on: Jun 17, 2015

Margaret was a lovely - inside and out - woman with a great heart and a spectacular personality. I had the honour of becoming her niece after many years of being friends with Jeff. My sympathies, thoughts and prayers go to Jeff, Betsy, Freya, Jim and all other members of the family. - Posted by: Tracy (Friend of Jeff and friend/niece of Margaret) on: Jun 16, 2015
