Dear Family of Margot,
Please accept our condolences at the passing of Margot. My husband and I first met Margot when we rented an apartment on Langdon Street in 1972. She was a lovely friendly neighbor. She then began attending the Blessed Sacrament Prayer group which we also attended. We would ride together to the Monday night meetings many evenings. St. Paul's was also our church home. Shortly before our first daughter was born we moved to a house right across from Blessed Sacrament and continued to see Margot at the prayer group. She always had a smile and inquired about our family . There were times when life was challenging but her faith was very strong. She always spoke so highly of her nieces and nephew and enjoyed the visits with them. Over the years we did not see Margot very frequently but it was a joy to run into her at various religious events.
We are having a mass offered for her at Blessed Sacrament on Friday, January 10th, 2014 at 8:30 am. She and your family are in our prayers. We are sorry that we were unable to attend the funeral but another friend of the family died on Christmas Day and the funeral was on Monday am. We will find out where her grave is and visit the gravesite later.
Blessings,
Tom and Marcella Claridge
