To Frank, Michael and Timothy: we will remember Marguerite as a giving, energetic woman who welcomed us warmly to your home. She was gracious and we enjoyed working with her in promoting Chinese Language studies at New Trier. May her memory bring you comfort.

My condolences to Frank, Michael and Timothy.
Marguerite was quite a woman and I'm glad I got to know her and Frank the past few years. She was so caring and thoughtful by remembering my mom, her neighbor, at every holiday. She would prepare a holiday meal or treat and have Frank deliver it to my mother's door.
She was humble and never let on how accomplished she was in her career.
She leaves a legacy of kindness and generosity of heart.
My mother and I grieve with you in this great loss.
May the God of mercy and compassion comfort you in this very sorrowful time.
