Val, you and your family have my prayers and sympathy. As a member of the BHS class of 1975, this came as a shock to me. I will always remember Margarite's humor. You couldn't help but laugh every time you were in her presence. Sleep on Margarite. I'll see you in that great get up morning. Beverly Kimbrough Class of BHS 1975

Jim and I will certainly miss our Margarete! Her personality exuded love of life, her family and friends! There was not a time when we dined at GICC that she did not come around and give us a warm hug! Once I called her "Lovebug" and from then on, I was her "Lovebug"!
