Shirley & Chuck Kasson Galesburg, MI December 11, 2013
"Our sympathy goes to Margaret's immediate family and her extended family. I am forever grateful to Aunt Margaret for writing her family history several years ago. She began to write letters to me, each one relating a chapter in the lives of her Mother, Father, and siblings. I gave copies to my children and they cherish this history. She had a busy, fulfilling life and was thrilled to have a 100th birthday party. We were privileged to know her, and wish we had made connections sooner. She loved her family and spoke of them often. I'll always remember that twinkle in her eyes, and that little smile that told you she was joking with us. We miss her so much."

"Aunt Margaret was special. She had a great sense of humor and loved to joke with us. Her letters and stories were very interesting. I will miss her and will remember her smiles and that little spark of humor in her eyes."
