Gloria Burgoyne What a wonderful full life Meg lived. Always such a generous spirit. She
treated our group royally every Christmas with a marvelous tea and singing
of carols. When I first joined Sor. she was very supportive and I am still
a member today because of her kindness and understanding. Sorry I
learned too late to attend the service. My thoughts are with your family.
Such a bright spirit is never extinguished.
