I first met Margaret relatively soon after the death of her beloved husband. There is never a good time to lose one's soulmate but it must have been particularly difficult at a time when her children were just entering the adult world with all that entails. I felt she dealt stoically with the consequent responsibilities and the inevitable loneliness. From my perspective Margaret was a person who was very easily pleased. Her needs seemed to be modest: A comfortable room temperature, a plentiful supply of tea (the weaker, the better), simple food, time alone to read her bible, and an absence of pets! She seemed to be at her most content when spending time in the company of her daughter Linda - preferably watching a wholesome drama with no surprises; or her grandsons - especially when they were younger when she was able to pitch her interactions with them at just the right level to make them laugh and keep them entertained. She was kind, even-tempered, had a sense of humour and her heart was definitely in the right place.
