I met Margaret when Annie Hall brought her to a Prayer Shawl meeting at St. Augustine’s Church. She was such a sweet lady and we all loved her British accent. I told her she reminded me of Miss Marple because she could knit without looking at her work and could continue a conversation as she knitted. Plus her accent made her even more authentic Miss Marple. We all loved having her a part of our group. She will be greatly missed.

I met Margaret through the St. Augustine Prayer Shawl Ministry a couple of years ago. She was such a sweet lady. We will miss her in our ministry and our lives. .
