  1. Our lives are richer for having known Marguerite. We spent many happy hours together, eating good food, philosophizing, and visiting France. We will miss her very much. Our hearts go out to Marguerite’s family.

  2. So sorry for your family’s loss, Dani. May your mother’s memory be a blessing to all who knew her.

  3. Please accept the sympathy of all of us (especially Dr. Sam and me) in the US Navy family at the Training Support Center (formerly the Service School Command) Great Lakes (IL)

  4. I got to know Marguerite because her husband (Mac) was my supervisor for about 20 years.

  5. Marguerite was a wonderful woman, full of strength and goodness. I enjoyed her wit and insight when she preached at Bradford Church UU, and in our correspondence. It was a pleasure knowing her; she will be missed.

  6. Marguerite was a warm-hearted, directly honest,intelligent and lovable lady. To lose such a friend as
    her is a great loss. We will miss our laughter and philosophical ‘beg to differ’ conversations, whilst Mac
    was rustling up something tasty to calm and placate us.
