Chris and family,
I knew Margaret for many years, not only through school but also at First Presbyterian Church. There were so many memories and then Eric and Ian became best friends. Steve and I send our thoughts and prayers to your family.

Chris and Family,
I was so sorry to read of Margaret's passing. I have many happy memories of her from years ago when she grew up on Dows Lane. I vividly remember her sitting at the dining room table, alone, where she was told she had to eat her vegetables before she could be excused. I'm not sure if she ever did finish them. Spunky from the start!
Our paths crossed, again, when she served as a Director of the Dows Companies. She always loved filling me in on her two Christophers, Ian and Amana. She was so proud of you! Please know that my thoughts are with you during this very difficult time.

So sorry to learn of your family's loss. It does not seem that long ago that Margaret and I shared experiences of raising young sons (of course they are in their 30's now). Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to receive this news. It brings memories of the 10th floor in the ie: Tower at Cedar Rapids where bachelor Chris and I shared office space and projects.. Observing the courtship and having Margaret included in our corporate events was great. The courtship results have been excellent. Best wishes to Chris and to the family.
