I have to tell a story about Margret, because this is the kind of person she was. Chance and I went to Reed park fishing, and we caught a bunch of bluegill and had them on a stringer when she came to pick us up. She saw how proud of our catch we were, and instead of telling us to throw them back in the water, she said “throw them in the back of the truck, ill cook them up”. I’ll never forget how good those fish tasted. I thought it was because we caught the fish made them taste better, it was because Margret cooked them! She was an amazing cook, and I was to young to realize it. She was an amazing person as well and will be missed by all that knew her! I can still hear her whistle today. RIP Margret!
