Susan, Jeremy, & Josephine Guild
Margarete came into our lives when Susan was a baby, around 1960. Susan’s grandmother acted as translator in those early days, when Margarete first came to work in Edmonton. About 15 years later, we were lucky enough to again find Margarete through a schoolmate of Susan’s whose family Margarete worked for. Margarete’s loving greeting cards arrived faithfully by post ever after to mark birthdays. She was a hard worker, positive thinker, and loving soul, and the world will be less without her. .
