“I was saddened to hear that Aunt Margaret passed away. My thoughts are with all of the family and loved ones whose lives were touched by her. I have the best memories of visiting Cape May as a kid and being welcomed so warmly by Aunt Margaret. I always felt loved and looked after, despite the many other children (hers and others’) that occupied her waking moments. I wish I could be there to honor her along with you. Sending you all my deepest condolences. Love. Jonathan Jacobson”
