Thinking of you all at this very sad time of your Mums passing.
I always enjoyed Margo’s company having many conversations of school days when we caught up at GSE functions.

So sad to hear of Margot's passing. She was a great workmate and friend. At work we had lots of fun at the same time as getting the work done. God bless you all. I am thankful that I will be able to join you via livestream on Friday.

So sorry to hear of Margots passing. We (Sandra, Brian, Angela and Lynda Drumm) were neighbours of Murray, Margot and children in Rugby Street, Timaru. I used to babysit the boys before Juliet came along. Thinking of you all at this sad time.

So many great memories of golf in Margot's company. Always bright and such a good person to be with. My sympathy to all the family - I know she will be sorely missed.
