Gone but not ever forgotten. My condolences to you as a family in your loss. I have known Margaret for some time and recently visited her before covid started. For many years I helped Margaret’s mother, Myrtle with meals while she was in the Auxilliary Hospital. Both Margaret and her husband Andy were great people.
Sincerely,
Valerie Arkinstall
