Tom, JoAnne and Family,
Just a note to let you know that our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time
of your loss. Even though I didn't know Margaret I did work with her husband Harold
at the Incoming Annex when he was a zone 15 letter carrier in the late 60's. Can anyone
tell me the date Harold died? Peace and Love.

Susan & Family,
Margaret and my mother, Catherine Westbury (McCarthy,) were great life long friends. My dad, Ray, was a friend of your dads (Harold) and Margaret and Harold introduced my mom and dad. Your mom was a great woman and I have very fond memories of her riotous sense of humor and of her and my mom laughing and joking and carrying on. Mom will be 94 April 11 and is living at St. Mary's Care Center. We send our sympathies and are grateful that Margaret's passing was peaceful.
