I send my deepest sympathy to Margaret's family. I will be praying
for you all. I am Margaret's first cousin. Our families were
across-the-street neighbors throughout all of our young lives. My
brother, Paul, and I shared our childhood with Margaret and Peter.

I and my husband,Ron Clarke, who also lived in the Blue Hills
area of Hartford were friends of Ruth and Ellie Klau and all of
their very nice family. Margaret had a beautiful and interesting
life and now she is at peace. Sincerely, Martha Reardon Clarke

Dear Ira,

I was saddened to read about your Mom's passing this morning. I was just getting to know her again thru the Avon Garden Club. She was a lovely lady.

I spent many fun times with Margaret when she and Arnold lived in Manchester. We worked on Sisterhood projects together, went on the bus trips to New York and shared many dinners together. I remember her keen decorating sense and her zest for life. Our sincere condolences to the family. May her memory be for a blessing.

Our condolences to the Klau family. Stu and I remember our friend Margie Murtha from high school days. I attended Weaver High with her. What a lovely woman. May her memory bring joy and comfort to your wonderful enormous Klau family and Murtha family.

With affection,
Ellen and Stuart Roth
