Dear family of the deceased Margaret, I was very sad to receive the news of Margaret's passing from Vicki Janski. You won't know who I am. I was an exchange student from Germany who lived with Magaret's sister Sharron and her family for a year in 1975/76. Margaret and her family (which was much smaller then, only Melissa had been born already and was a lovely baby) lived near the Janski family at the time and we saw a lot of her. I was very fond of her and, of course, of baby Melissa! Although we had lost contact after I returned to Germany I wish to offer my condolences to her family ! May she rest in peace after suffering from such a terrible disease. torsten oppelland
