You, dear Margaret, were for your big family of the center and will always remain so. Even now you will lovingly take care of blessing and with vigilant "guardian angel-eyes" that your active, happy and harmonious family from all over the world come together again and again in your mind, and the memory of you and Tom, celebrates life ,
Thank you dear Madeline, that you have invited me to tea, when your mother was in Germany. Or do you have at the most a very short time that you could spend time together, makes a visit to me. There were precious hours each time, that I like to think back and for that I am very grateful. They remind me of a warm-hearted, intelligent, lovable, fascinating and wonderful woman you - and the next offspring - has left a valuable legacy: her memoirs .....
"If you look at what has made you inwardly glad and happy, then the memory effect it also enriching.
In her beauty remains intact and acts on dissolved way in you further. It does not get lost in the Farewell. On The Contrary.
Only by parting it can stay. "

Margaret was for me Auntie Margaret- my great aunt. I have many childhood memories of their house on Churchill in Westmount. Especially of the basement with the fabulous vintage Barbies and their clothes. Dinners and family gatherings in the summer months on their terrace off of the kitchen and the very soft carpeting on the staircase.
When I was completing a summer course for teachers in Toronto in 1999, Auntie Margaret very generously offered to have me stay with her. I am very grateful for the time I was able to spend with her there, talking about teaching, my grandmother and our family. The day always culminated with Peter Mansbridge and the National in the den. A couple of years later, when I found myself living nearby in Toronto, we had lunch and tea together on a regular basis and our conversations continued. She took me to the Shaw Festival that year and we spent a wonderful day together. The drive to the Festival did require some negotiation, but in the end, I was able to do most of the driving.
The last time I was in Canada, I went to Toronto to spend the afternoon with her. I regret that I will not be able to the same this summer. As I left, she told me in her usual no-nonsense way that she was glad to have known me as an adult, and felt that she knew me well. And that it was likely that we would not see one another again, which was to be expected at her age. I found it very difficult to say goodbye that day.
That moment was very typical of my relationship with her. She was someone who listened with great attention and intelligence to what you were saying. When she spoke with me it was always with very frankly and directly, but always with great consideration. Something that I appreciated very much. Not everyone can benefit from the advice and the reflections of a family member who has a global view of life, your family and the world around them. She was my last connection to that generation.
My thoughts are with all of the Cathcarts and have been for several weeks now. I know how much she loved you all, and when I spoke with her on the phone from France, she would always give me proud updates on the accomplishments and activities of her grandchildren. And the enormous joy an pride of being a great-grandmother.
May her memorial bring you comfort and support from the many family members, friends and acquaintances that are sure to be there.
And for you, Auntie Margaret, may you rest in peace. I am unable to be at your memorial, which deeply saddens me. I will miss you very much.
Love to you all,
Sheilagh

Dear Barbara, Ron and Madeleine, It has been a very long time since I saw your mother. I can conjure an image in my mind and when I do, I also remember a log cabin on the side of Lake Toro. My thoughts are with you. Best wishes, Toby

During this difficult time I would like to extend my deepest sympathy. Margaret became a true friend at Belmont House and I appreciate all of her wonderful outreach to me and her real friendship. Many of us don't get to become 'new friends' at age 96 but we did. Best, Olga Burman
