“John and Family, So sorry to learn the sad news about the loss of your Mother. Sending a fond goodbye to a delightful lady, with a joyful soaring spirit, and a sense of humor that will keep us smiling as long as memories last. I worked many years with Margaret at UNMC in Omaha. She was a super Nurse and a wonderful friend. May she find as much joy in her coming journey as she found on this earth. Bonnie Scholting”
