Flowers are blooming
Spring is in the air
Yet nothing seems right
Because you’re not here
The sun still shines
The birds still sing
Yet nothing seems right
Not a single thing
Our hearts will heal
Time heals all wounds
Our memories will hold us
Til we meet again soon
Just know you are loved
The love will never fade
As we lay you with pop
And cherish memoires we have made.
A private graveside service took place in Oshawa, Ontario on Friday, May 15th, 2020. A Mass and celebration of Margaret’s life will follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Jordan Guardian Angels.org, a cause that meant a great deal to Margaret and supported by her on behalf of her great granddaughter, Abigail Legge.
