Deepest sympathy to all the family, I was a girl guide and in the guard of honour at Margaret's wedding, I later worked in the office at Waiau College when Margaret was working at the college.

Condolences to Margaret´s family, her friends, and to the community she loved and supported in so many ways. Margaret was a wonderful friend to my late sister, Anne Tillard Dyhrberg and to me since primary school days. I admired her enthusiasm and capabilities.
Rest gently dear friend.
