My heart goes out to Uncle Paul, John Paul, Renee and Anne Margaret. My memories of Aunt Margie are many happy ones. My children always referred to your mom as "our Cadoochi (sp.) aunt" because she would give them a big kiss and pinch both cheeks. She was there for me so many times over the years when I had a need. And now she is at peace and rest, joyfully celebrating with her complete, large and loving family in heaven. I hope she's hugging my mom.
