After thirteen years with her, my great grandmother, I can't seem to forget her. She drew me this, and as much as I love it, I loved her dearly. All I can do is pray and hope she loves the place she's in. I wish she was still around. I love you, Maw Maw Margaret. Sincerely, Cheyenne Parfait

My heartfelt condolences goes to the Gillette family, especially my sweet Brian.  Margaret lived a long and fruitful life, but no one is ever prepared to lose the people they love. I grieve WITH you for that loss. Love you all.

Attached is a picture of my first cousin Margaret - fondly called “Boots” - holding me and next door neighbor Conny Barry. Boots was like my big sister, and I am grateful that we were able to celebrate her 80th birthday with her in a big way. She was a true artist who will be missed dearly. I know she is now with her parents and in peace. Until we meet again, we love you Boots. Marsha Haselden
