It isn't too hard to give a quick glimpse into where she lived and what she did.
But to capture the essence of who she was, who she really was, in words, will take a very long time, and a tremendous number of words. It will take a book.
Here is Margret's obituary, slightly abbreviated:
Margret 37 beloved daughter of Ann and John of here, Louis of there, loving sister of Flora, Helen and Rose, devoted auntie to two neices, 5 nephews, also survived by two grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins and too many friends to enumerate, died peacefully in the midst of her family Monday at the Hospital in Philadelphia
