My sincere condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful person I call "My Dear Friend" a long time ago at a local record shop and we've been friends ever since. Even though we didn't do a lot of talking like we did back then, we always acknowledged each other when we ran across each other. We became family friends throughout the years(her brothers and mine and my cousin and her sis.-in-law). I feel so grateful for having met her. My brothers and I pray that our Heavenly Father give you the Peace, Comfort, and Blessings you will need to sustain you in the days ahead. She is gone but never forgotten. Ramona, Roy, Ronald and Ramon Hairston

I met Margaret on a recent visit to the Ville;she knew I was a Clark but had never met me.She knew I was the sister who went to school with Sylvia and our connection was sealed.
