Dearest Gina, Curt and I extend our deepest condolences, so saddened to hear of your beloved mom’s passing. Have always enjoyed visiting with Margaret at family gatherings, a sweet thoughtful person with the most beautiful smile. We are so very sorry darling Gina, holding you up in prayers of strength and love. Carolyn & Curt
Maggie (Gaga) was an amazing person. I’m so glad we all had the chance to share many good times with her. Her smile lit up the room. She will be missed dearly. Our prayers are with all of you through this difficult time.
Nancy, Gina and Johnny. So sad about Maggie. I loved talking to her about her love of old movies and her kids growing up. I was glad to get to spend a lot more time with her here in Florida. She was such a sweet lady. My thoughts are with all of you. Love you all
I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember visiting my Aunt Margaret when I was a kid. She was so nice to me and our family. It’s been a long time since I saw her. Strangely, I just asked my Mim about her just last week. I’ve lived far from Connecticut all of my life, so I didn’t have the opportunity to know your Mom. Finding out that Nancy has been in Winter Garden saddens me, as I have lived in Orlando for the past 30 years. Hard to believe that I did not know that my Aunt was down here, a short distance away visiting. Now I know I have a cousin in the Orlando area. Truly a small world. I hope we can connect and that I can learn more about Aunt Margaret and her family. My Dad, Charlie, is sad about losing her. He’s almost 90 and he cannot travel easily. If he could be with your family, I know he would. God bless you all and may Aunt Margaret rest in peace.
