Margaret was a very loving person. Our children Dominico, Gregorio, and Antonio felt very comfortable and loved while being taken care of by Margaret during their pre-school years. Margaret always made us feel welcome in her and Joe's home. She made us feel like family. We will miss her. Our prayers are with her and her family.

Diane,tommy & Anthony published a tribute .

Aunt Margie,
We did not need a special day To bring you to our minds
The days we did not think of you
Are very hard to find

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why

A million times in need of you
A million times I cried
If LOVE alone could have saved you
You never would have died

Each morning that we awake
We know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts ache with sadness
And tears still flow
What it means to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you
Your place no one can fill
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still

There will always be a heartache
And often a silent tear
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase
And heartaches make a lane
We'd walk the path to Heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts
And there you will remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again

Out family chain is broken now
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.

Aunt Margie,
What a beautiful memory you left behind. As I have told you several times, "Thank-you" for being my second Mom. You may be gone from this earth, but you are forever in my heart. I Love you and will miss you.
Diane

Linda published a tribute .

I Heard the Angel Say
I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Their work on earth is done."

I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your sweet laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace dear one at last."

I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."

I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The Lord is coming soon."

I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They left you with their love."

I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They're with you every day."
"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they've finally found.
B. Davis

We have lost a beloved sister, you have a lost a loving wife, mother and grandmother. The memories are many and she will not be forgotten. We will miss her at reunion this year, but I am sure that she is enjoying a wonderful reunion in heaven. We will be there to support you during this very difficult time. I pray that our family will gather, love and remember all the good times we have enjoyed as a family. With all our love.
P.S. I am sure that nothing would delight her more than for everyone to make the
