To this day they remember that time as the beginning of their journey of faith. Marguerite loved to cook, especially when her family visited, including regular Sunday brunch's and all of the holiday's until she turned 96. She particularly enjoyed it when her grandchildren and great-grandchildren visited. Marguerite was also a fantastic gardener and had one of the most beautiful flower gardens in all of Hanover.
