Margaret will be missed. She was so very dear to all of us.
Aunt Margaret, a wonderful person! There will always be so many good memories of the things we did together. I miss those great times!
My Dad, Bud Vertin, asked me to call you since I was living in your area. He and your husband, John, were first cousins. Since I took the step to visit an unknown person I found some much joy and pleasure in everything we did from drinking tea at the local hotels or restaurants to our rides and having you and your friends over for holiday dinners.
I’ll miss you very much. Love, Mary Vertin-Vorlicky
She was my second Mother and Godmother. I’ll miss all the times taking her for rides and Church and she also made you fell like the most important person in the world.
I will always remember Aunt Margarets smile and sense of humor. It is truley remarkable to know that she lived through an entire century. What a lady she was!
We’ll miss you very much Margaret!
I’ll always remember winding over to Aunt Margaret’s when visiting Grandma and Grandpa to use the little red watering can and give Aunt Margarets plants a drink. All of us cousins would trot over every christmas to give her our holiday greetings and anytime in between when we were on “Bentler” hill. Hard to believe you are gone Aunt Margaret but I’ll think of you each time I water my plants or pass a field of llamas.
Margaret, I miss you already. Went to take Nick to work, and was ready to stop, and see you, but than remembered you left. Hope you read this. Got your place all cleaned up, and the maintence man took all your furniture, blankets etc. Said he can use all those things! He is putting the big plant out in the main foyer. The flowers I gave to Chris next door. Gave the clothes to Value Village, my type of store! Had fun cleaning up, Nick took the postcards, and the rosary’s, and sure does like them. Sierra took the little box of jewelry, and was excited about this. Just had so much fun. Charolette Mike’s mom came and talked to us, says she was on duty, and your aid that nite, and that you left so peacefully, and so fast. She talked about how you and your roomate talked a lot to each other in the last few days. So so neat, because I know your roomate was totally blind, and deaf. Your spirts were together. Charolette you know has worked their about 29 yrs, and said she believes without a doubt their was devine intervention that she saw. Than when you told me what a lovely roomate you had, and the lovely visit with her, ya I think their was something special going on. Well anyway love you, and keep in touch!

Margaret was a lovely lady and one of the nicest people I had the pleasure to meet and be part of her extended family—one of a kind and she will be missed:
I am so sorry to hear of Margaret’s passing. I have been living in Ireland and only just got the news. I lost contact with Margaret when she moved to the care home. I found it impossible to reach her by phone. I so loved her and am living with the pain of having missed her passing.
