The family would like to extend special thanks to Landmark of Baton Rouge and 
their entire staff for the wonderful care Margaret received until her death, and 
to the Office of Blumberg and Associates which allowed her granddaughter, Dawn 
the countless hours away from her job to care for her grandmother.
