Looking out my kitchen window will not be the same again, knowing that I will never see Margo working in the garden or relaxing on the deck, or stopping to pull a weed that dared to show its head on her path, and Murray by her side, always. I’ll forever hear her deep laughter coming through the trees, and never forget the standard of excellence she challenged everyone to live up to. The best neighbours ever for all these years.
My sincere sympathy to Murray and family. RIP Margo.

Dear Murray, Brian, Bruce, David and family,
So sorry to learn of Margot’s passing. As my sister Stephanie mentioned above, I have fond memories of our families’ get-togethers on Grey Cup weekends. Murray and Margo were such dear friends to our parents Sal and Bruce over the years. I am so thankful for having shared a wonderful lunch and visit with Murray, Margo and my parents in Elora a few years ago.
With my sincerest condolences,
Brad Scandrett (Saskatoon)

Words can’t express my sincere feelings on Margot’s passing. Although we didn’t keep in close touch, she was often on my mind remembering her and the fun we had at Guelph. I still have a picture of her carrying a sign in protest when the trays went missing from Creelman hall. My condolences to Murray and the entire family.

Dear Aunt Margot,
I loved all the visits to Ravenna growing up and always felt most tranquil at your home. I remember feeling pretty down and I was in the audience at the Fall Fair when you were the president and you winked at me while you were giving a speech. It was very exciting and meant a lot.
