Margaret Mary was loved. She loved too. She loved her family. She loved babies and kids. She loved her dolls and her stuffed animals--they were her kids and she had names for all of them. She especially loved baby Jesus. She also loved the color green! She was loved by the staff at her Merakey Group Home, where she lived for the past 8 years; and she loved them. Her family wants to thank the staff at Merakey and her caregivers at the home. Her caregivers went beyond their call of duty to give Margaret Mary all the love and care that she needed. They were family. We considered them angels sent from God to help her. Although she went through many difficulties these past years, Margaret Mary still made things interesting for whoever met her. She was unforgettable. She had her way of getting what she wanted that not only sometimes challenged but especially endeared her to all she met. We will miss Margaret Mary and her sense of humor greatly and thank everyone who gave her true dignity and love these past years.
