Dear Aunty Margaret, I was told of Your passing to late to make your funeral, I'm sorry for that. I will always love you and miss your wonderful smile, that always lot up the room, your jokes and stories and being called precious by you. I will always remember your pies and your baking, they were as delicious and sweet as your soul was. I can vividly remember your farm and the summers there visiting, and when you came by too grama and grampa's acreage as well, to visit and talk. I was always admirable of your volunteer work and big heart and I know that the Lord has a special place for you, I am still mourning your lose, and I hope you look down on all of us, from time to time. Love your, little one Adam. - Posted by: Adam Weidl (Relation ) on: Aug 25, 2016

I was really sad to hear that my dear Aunty Margaret has passed. I had spent many summers with her and Uncle Willy growing up and have fond memories of the time spent with them. My sincere sympathy to Cousins Charlene and Warren and their families. Rest in peace Aunty Margaret - Posted by: Arlene Moar [Willis] (Niece) on: Jul 07, 2016

We hold many wonderful memories of having known Marg at Winnipeg Beach. She was a dear friend of our Mom and Dad, Margaret and Ted Taylor who resided at Winnipeg Beach for their retirement years. Each summer after dad's passing Mom and myself would drive out to have lunch and a visit with Marg. It was wonderful to see those ladies, both with their walkers, hug and cry together. They enjoyed sharing the time together, and always said goodbye with a wish to meet again the following summer. Our Mom passed away peacefully in Winnipeg on June 16 this year, and with Marg's passing just two weeks after our Mom, two wonderful ladies will always be remembered for their love and kindness and certainly the long friendship they shared. Our sympathy is sent to Marg's family in their loss. Hold tight to all the memories you share. In Sympathy, Lynda and Ed Taylor (Winnipeg) - Posted by: Ed and Lynda Taylor (Friends) on: Jul 06, 2016

Auntie Margaret was such a special person. She was always doing things for others. We were fortunate to be able to visit her most times when we were down. Of course she especially liked it when we would have pictures of the new grandchildren. We will miss her very much and will always love her and remember her in our hearts. - Posted by: Randy and Doris Weidl (Neohew) on: Jul 06, 2016
