We are so, so sorry to hear about the passing of Margaret. We met her at Heritage, where we also had a family member. Margaret was always smiling, and always willing to go on walks past the rooms. We loved talking to her, and enjoyed watching how much she loved her chocolate desserts! We wish peace and comfort to the family for this great loss. The family of Carol D.

Jane driving the car, music blasting, and Maggie bee boppin and singin' along with the biggest smile and the brightest eyes, the look of pure happiness on her face!
Love you forever! Larry, Diane and Rayne

My sister-in-law lived at Heritage, so I was lucky to meet Maggie. She was so fun to be around. I loved to have Alexa play music for her. She loved Johnny Cash and would always get right up to dance. Heritage lost three sweet ladies recently.

To my dear sweet neighbor lady, I remember the day I moved into the neighborhood 7 years ago. You were right there to introduce yourself and welcome me in. You always told me I was a great addition to the neighborhood. I will always treasure the time we spent together walking after I would get home. You always loved my puppy Noel and remembered her each time we came to visit you at Heritage. They always say there is a reason someone comes into our lives and you definitely fit that. I know that you are with us in spirit as Noel and I take our daily walks. Another wonderful Angel is in Heaven looking down on us. Rest in peace my very special friend. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. Tears of Joy for you being that special friend. Julie and Noel.
