Dear Laurie My sincere sympathy to you and your family in the loss of your mom. I remember when we were growing up out in Delaware township what a nice lady she was.

Margaret was always such a positive person and I remember fondly those brief times when we had a chance to chat at St. Anne's. My mother commented that Margaret was always willing and eager to help with events as much as possible. She has left a hole in our church family. Her smile and gentle way will be missed. My sympathy to all the family.

Doreen Varey and family, I am so sorry to hear of Marg's passing. I knew Marg through our husband's working at the L.T.C. We also spent many happy times working on the LT.C. Ladies Auxiliary. She is one great friend that will be truly missed.

Margaret was the first one on Evergreen at McCormick's to welcome our mother, Margaret Virtue to the floor. Her lovely smile, quiet disposition and kind nature gave us all hope that this was where Mom should be. We looked forward to our daily visits, loved listening to Margaret talk about her family, the beautiful weather or where she was off to that day. Never one to complain, she made each day a little more enjoyable. A lovely, dignified lady who will certainly be missed. We are so sorry for your loss. When mom died, we appreciated the sentiment that was given to us, when we say good-bye, others are saying welcome. The Virtue Family
