StephanieL Posted April 25 Posted April 25 I received this note from John, Margaret's son: "I have sad news. My mom passed away peacefully in her sleep Saturday morning. She had been declining slowly over the last year from heart and lung failure, and was particularly weak the past month. Thank you and the rest of the Mouthfuls community for providing a wonderful space for my mom to be herself and share her love of food and travel. I would deeply appreciate if you could start a memorial thread for her, with your favorite memories of things she shared. That would mean a lot for me." We got to be friendly with Margaret and her husband Chuck a numbers of years ago. They took N and I under their wing, inviting us to their house near Golden Gate Park a couple of time, and we in turn invited them to a meal so that Margaret could admire N's garden. (We still have the hot sauce that Chuck brought.) She also introduced me to the Hungry Onion food board because it has a very lively San Francisco Bay Area discussion section. Last year, she was clearing out Chuck's wine collection and gifted us with several bottles of wine (including homemade aged vin de noix), wishing we could take more. We'll raise a glass in both their honors. 1 2 Quote

I put her screen name as a tag, but now I realize those can't be seen on the main list. Edited April 29 by StephanieL Quote
