Hi Peter and family.
We were so sad to hear that Margaret had passed away. We have only the very fondest memories of her. She had a wonderfully wicked sense of humour and many of the occasions we recall involve being in fits of laughter as she told one of her hilarious stories. More significant, Margaret (along with you, Peter) was one of the kindest and most generous people we have met. It was our privilege that our life-journeys crossed.
Please be assured of our love and prayers for all of you.

My sincerest sympathies to the entire Eccles family . I thoroughly enjoyed Margaret's company and her wonderful sense of humour . It was such a pleasure working for Peter and Margaret in the late 1970s and I will always be grateful for the knowledge instilled in my formative years in the industry ........Jim Johnson .
