What a wonderful woman your mother was. She was always to kind and considerate. Always had a warm word of welcome whenever I saw her. Your are blessed to have had her with you for 95 years.
What wonderful memories I have of Margaret. She was so patient with me when I wouldn't practice my piano lessons. (Which was all the time) She never scolded, she only smiled. I thought she was the greatest piano teacher. What a joy to know that I will get to see that smile again some day!
I have such fond memories of your Mother as my 4-H leader and through church activities. She was a wonderful woman who will be greatly missed. My sympathy to you all.
Margaret made a deep spiritual inpact on Lou and myself. She always had a smile for everyone; but if needs be always spoke the truth about a given situation. (which I appreciated about her) She showed a great amount of empathy to the needy and sorrowing. Lou and I enjoyed visiting with her and Rozelle.
Your mother touched many lives and heartsl.
Lou and I want to express our sympathy to each of you.
We are sorry that we will not make the visitation Norma, but we will be out of town with Staci and Lenny's children Sun afternoon and eve.
Thank you so much for the prayers for our precious Khloe.
Love Lou and Laura
We have fond memories of Margaret's warm smile and uncomplaining spirit. We enjoyed the visits we were privileged to have with her over the years. Our sympathies to the family and pray God's grace to lift you.
Van Dalen Family,
I am saddened by the passing of Margaret. I am reminded of her unique and constant smile; the huge, delicious lunches when haying; teaching of Sunday School class; homemade caramels; compass which always pointed due North and a supportive family with similar beliefs.
Margaret will always hold a special place in my memories!
God Bless,
Bruce Van Der Kamp
Our thoughts and prayers are with Rozelle and the Van Dalen family. One always noticed the warm smile and good nature of Margaret.It was always a pleasure to speak with her. Mom always kept us informed about Margaret and Rozelle and the neighborhood breakfast club. God be with us all!
Marilyn,I was sorry to read about your mother's passing. Like my dad, we are blessed that we have the assurance of where they have gone and the memories of a long life well lived. I am happy that we had the opportunity to renew acquaintance when our dad's were both in isolation rooms at Skiff. Little did we know that we would each give up a parent within a few weeks. Please say "Hi" to your dad and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers

My sympathies to the VanDalen family. I was Margaret's hairdresser for many years, and we enjoyed a close and special friendship. She was so nice and caring, and always talked of her children and grandchildren with such fondness. Thank you Margaret for all the memories.
