Condolence: Ron and family: I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Margaret. I know that she is in a better place in heaven. It was a beautiful thing that she was able to spend her last hours with her family. I am sure that gave her peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. Chris, Maureen, Andrea and Cameron Trivers

Condolence: Please accept my condolences. May you find strength through caring friends, comforting memories, and moments of peace. I pray that God gives you whatever your heart needs most right now.

Condolence: Hi, Moureen I just wanted to say I was saddened to here about the loss of your sister Margaret. I hope you are fairing well during this time.

Condolence: Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ron, Elizabeth, Cameron and their extended family. Words cannot express what a big part of our lives you have been, and how much Margaret meant to us all, but especially to Jackie. They were neighbors, shopping buddies, and dear friends. You always knew when Jackie had spent time with Margaret - there was a smile on her face and energy to spare. A move west took us away sooner than we would have liked, but we'll never forget Margaret, and know that she is now far away from doctor's offices and hospitals, continuing to look over the family and friends she loved so well.

Condolence: Our thoughts are with all of you at this time.

Condolence: A Tribute Poem For My Dear Friend, Margaret.


Margaret and I met in the fall of '81,
fresh out of UCONN, our schooling was done.

Hired by the City of Hartford as Social Worker I's,
We set out to make a difference in the lives of everyone.

We quickly became friends with one common goal
Move out from our parents, to save our souls.

Roommates we became and we had a blast,
The time we shared was great; time quickly passed.

I got married, it was time to move on,
I started a family and Margaret found Ron.

Elizabeth joined them after a whirlwind endeavor,
Then Cameron was born, now a family forever.

Margaret stayed home to be with her kids,
Volunteering and touching lives in all that she did.

She was happy and life was good,
Did all that she wanted and all that she should.

Then came the day they told her she had cancer,
it had to be a mistake, there had to be an answer.

They first told her she didn’t have very long,
But she would fight this, proving them wrong.

And so began the battle of her life,
Determined to stay here as a mother and wife.

Throughout her illness these past five years,
her family was foremost in all of her fears.

Ron took care of his family with love,
Always going beyond and above.

She would do what it took, seeking expert advice,
She was going to fight cancer at all and any price.

We exchanged 100s of emails, we lived an hour apart,
We talked about family and matters of the heart.

I spent 4 days with her after her surgery at Sloan,
We shared special moments in our time alone.

We talked about a weekend away from it all,
but her heart kept her home, a mother's call.

We joked about things and how our kids had grown,
And the love and support so many had shown.

The kick she got when the cleaning crew came,
Made her laugh and put her methods to shame.

The meals that were brought were so thoughtful and kind,
They meant so much more than any restaurant find.

The last several months she deeply declined,
Her heart was fighting, but her body resigned.

Elizabeth and Cameron had school to complete,
She held on longer not accepting defeat.

Cameron must take his trip…her concern,
Holding on further, for him to return.

Elizabeth’s birthday was Friday, July 1st,
Margaret waited a day, to lesson the hurt.

My life is deeply touched by your friendship and grace,
I will miss you my friend, and your smiling face.

Condolence: My sincerest condolence. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: To Ron and Family:
I’m very sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are prayers are with you.

Wilfredo

Condolence: Ron, Carolyn, Dale and family, Please except our sincere condolences at this very difficult time. Your strength will come from the love and support of each other at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Linda and Marty, Suzanna and Chelsea
