"Lee So sorry to hear of Margy's passing, I will always remember her from my earlier years of small engines at Ballard High School & the many years after when I would visit your shop on East Lincoln Way for my parts. She would scold me if I didn't have the model & family number of the engine I was working on.But somehow between Margy & you, I always left with everything I needed. I know she was a GREAT asset to you & a good friend to many of your customers. Sincerely, Randy Kennedy"
