To Margaret’s Family,
Matt and I send you our deepest condolences on the loss of your dear beloved Margaret.
We are in Rochester, MN, to be with my sister, Theresa, who needs a 24/7 caregiver at the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge here. I’m taking turns with my brother, Tom Blahnik, in caring for Theresa.
I want you to know how much Margaret meant to me. She was very dear to my heart. I thought about her often, and prayed for her. She was so delightful, a really grand lady, very poised and smart and sweet. I will miss her deeply. She was a special friend, as well as a client of mine. Matt thought she was pretty special, too!
May our Lord be with you during this difficult time.
Matt and Mary Lu Gaudette
