    I knew Margaret from Garden Villa...I will always remember doing her nails and her telling me that she loved me. She was a VERY special lady. I will miss her dearly.

    I will miss my friend, Margaret, so much. She and I shared a lot of time on Station 4. I will always remember her and her smiles and laughter. I told her on her last day, that I would someday visit Rock Island to see the place she loved so much and I believe it made her happy. Sherri Clarke GV station 4

    I had the honor to care for Margaret at Garden Villa. I would grab her tray and feed her Breakfast and Lunch everyday I was there. She was a Wonderful lady and will be sadly missed by me and my co workers. Margaret made me a better person just by knowing her. My prayers are with her family.
