Q: What was one of your favorite qualities of Margaret?
A: I loved how Grandma would always have time for her grandkids and great grandkids. She had so much love to give all of us and it showed in everything she did, even if it was having to get onto us for misbehaving lol! There were a couple of times I got into serious heat with her, but she was never unkind.
