I worked with Maggie at the VA. She was always a joy to work with. She will be missed. I will keep her family in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh “Maggie May”, I will miss you. I have known you for so many years beginning with our days as employees of the VA Medical Center. You were a funny lady, my friend. To Maggie May’s family, I am so very sorry for your loss. The first time I met your mom I called her “Maggie May” from Rod Stewart’s song. I think she kinda liked that. She was always so sweet and a good listener. She will be missed by so many who knew her. Please except my most sincere condolences. 💔
