It was with great sadness that I read of Marg’s passing today. Norm and I shared a lovely visit with Marg, Jim and Ellen in Florida. We enjoyed sharing Caledon East stories with her. My deepest sympathy to all of her loved ones.

We,Marg’s friends, pause to remember a great friend who we shared many memorable times together. A natural athlete on the “Vic” tennis courts, on the Blue Mountain ski slopes and out golfing. Marg had a great capacity for love of her family, friends and co-workers. We will miss her warm personality and genuine kindness. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Gott family on their loss.

My deepest sympathy goes to all the family. In spite of communication only at Christmas in recent years, I have happy memories of times spent with Marg who became a friend at East York Tennis Club many years ago. I am very glad to have known her.
