    So sorry to hear about Margo’s passing. I was the assistant manager at the Raytown DMV when she worked there. I always enjoyed her smile. She was a loyal employee. Always remember the good times you had with her. I am sorry that I cannot attend to the services on Wed. The family will be my thought and prayers in the hard days to come.

    Remembering Margo….our childhood, Mark, the turquoise cougar car, her energy, her laugh, and her long blonde hair. To me,she was the greatest. We had alot of fun growing up and she was at the center of it all. I regret I will not be able to attend the service. My thoughts and prayers are with you. She will be missed.

    I worked with Margo at Allied Signal in the Land Mobile area many years ago. The last time I visited with Margo was at The Deanna Rose Farmstead about two summers ago. She was there spending time with her grandkids. She was so proud of being a grandparent. She has always been a great person and very friendly. She will be missed and I am very sorry about her untimely passing.

    Margo,

    You were like a mother to me growing up as Matthew and I became, and remain best of friends. I have many fond memories and thank you for playing a motherly role in my life. May you rest in peace.
