  40. To Marg’s Family, so shocked and saddened to hear of Marg’s passing. Please accept my condolences. Marg got me through many a long drive from Fort McMurray to Suncor many years ago. We laughed so much on the drive every day. Through long days and snowy dark evenings. One morning we drove her truck she showed up at my house complaining about the dog barking in the neighbourhood, turns out it was my dog. We laughed the entire drive with Marg apologizing the entire way. May your memories offer you comfort at this difficult time.

  41. Condolences to all families and friends of Marg. May God bestow His Blessings of courage and strength on everyone at this most difficult time.
