Dear Terri, I am so glad that Sally & I were able to visit with Margaret last Monday. She looked good except she was very sleepy. I will miss her very much and am happy that I got to meet you both. Call me when you want to talk about enameling. My Sincerest Regards, Mary Nicholson

Dear Terri and Family,
We enjoyed getting to know Margaret. Not only was she an amazing artist but she loved her family and it showed. I enjoyed watching her face light up when her great grandchildren were around.

I commented one time "Margaret, how do you do it"?....meaning her artwork.
She said, "Oh, I jut pick up my brush and start painting"!

Precious lady.

Thinking of you all during this bitter/sweet time.
Bob and Ellen Lesburg

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. We have such fond memories of her sweet kindness. Her painting is loved and hangs directly in our livingroom. So fortunate to have known this incredible woman.

Terri and Family,
So sorry to hear about your Mom. She is such a special woman and will be greatly missed. Sorry, I will not be able to be there on Thurs. Will be out of town until Sunday night. Think of you often when I pass by your place and would love to get together soon.
May all your wonderful memories of your Mom and Dad be with you. God bless you and your family.
Love,
Virginia
