Tributes
"I met Margaret at Alex Cari's office in 2006. I was a rookie. Margaret was kind and helpful and always had nice things to say. As months went by, we spoke more about our families than we did about business. I remember the absolute delight in her eyes when speaking of the time spent with her grand daughter. My heart goes to her family who has lost such a beautiful person.Maggie TarterChicago Title Insurance Company"
"Dear Mike, and Jen - I am so sorry that you are going through this, Marge was a dear sweet person. Pancreatic cancer appears to be the scourge of our generation; Marge fought a very brave battle, but I know that no matter how long the battle is, the loss is greater than anyone should have to bear, and I am so sorry for the pain you are in right now. Your family and friends will be reaching out to you now, please let us all help, don't underestimate the value of loving support and care for you. Mike, having lost my beloved husband of 20 years, I understand your pain. Please know that you are my friend too, and I am here to help you however I can. My philosophy and religion helps, and I have many practical coping skills that I can share with you. Know you can lean on me. And know that my beloved Patrick, your friend, is helping Margie now too. Your friend, Mary"

"I first met Marge while working on the Newport Dinner Train she was the manager I liked her right away. I found her to be kind and very sweet. She had a nice laugh and you couldn't help but smile when you were with her. She never raised her voice even when I dropped a tray of drinks. I feel gifted having had the opportunity to meet her. Marge was indeed an Angel and will be greatly missed."
"Dear Mike and family, It is with deep sorrow that we learned of Margies passing and we honor both her's, and your remarkable determination throughout this difficult challenge. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. The Moretti Family"
"To Margie's family, We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear cousin Margie. Although, because of the geographical distance between our families, we never had the opportunity to spend more time together. The times we did spend together were, as usual, at weddings and funerals. At those times, she was always outgoing, fun to be around, easy going, loving, and most of all caring and compassionate in the true Irish way. Even tough we have a hole in our hearts without her, she is now enjoying the rewards of the way she lived her life. This includes peace, happiness, and being reunited with her Mom and Dad and all the family and friends that have passed before her. We can only hope that she will put in a good word for all of us so that everyone she has touched can be reunited at Heaven's Gate. May you have eternal rest and peace and get to Heaven before the devil knows your dead. Lovings Cousins, Debbie, Billy, and Danielle Carroll"
