I am Maggie’s youngest cousin, Mary. How I shall miss Maggie’s soothing “moon” good night wishes on Facebook!
My fondest memory of “Moppet” was at a family gathering. She was playing with my sister, Dianne, who was exactly her age. We were in a circle on the living room floor & Maggie, in her usual spirited and exacting way, was diligently teaching me all the techniques of playing jacks. I did so well at one point that, to my surprise, she turned and tucked a tiny bejeweled box into the small palm of my hand. In a rather dramatic fashion she said to me,
“Here, this is for you to keep and one day, you shall give it to your little girl!”
I had that little box for ages and have often thought about that day and my pretty blond, vivacious “Cousin Moppet”!
