I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to you and your family. May the soul of your mother rest in peace.
My deepest condolences to the family. I enjoyed working with Margaret for several years. She was a sweetheart. Oh, how she loved her family! She will be missed.
Deepest condolences and prayers to the family 🙏❤️ May your memories give you comfort.
I worked with Margaret at Employment Security for many years, she was a joy to work with. Condolence to all her children and grandchildren.
I remember the 1st time I met your beautiful mother at my parents house when I was little. She truly got my attention as the prettiest lady & lo & behold she also took the time to talk to me in a room full of adults. I never forgot it. Here many years later when my 2 daughters married men from Taos, she was one of the few people I would recognize at Church. Of course she knew me as Nancy Suthoff. Crazy to me she knew who I was & was still that gracious lady who talked to me as a child.
My condolences to you children, spouses, & grandchildren. You will miss her terribly. May you find peace that she has joined your Dad. May your memories comfort you.
