Subject: RE: Margaret MacArthur Gravely Ill
To Lynn and Margaret's many other friends and fans, I'm sorry to report that we lost Margaret last night, Tuesday, May 23, between 9:30 and 9:45 p.m. She died peacefully at her farm in Marlboro, Vermont, surrounded by her husband John, children Megan, Dan, Gary and John, and her grandchildren. They were with her and singing for her until the end. Her struggle with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, diagnosed just a little over a week ago, was mercifully brief. We are all the poorer for this loss. There is now an Obit thread about Margaret which should be used for future postings. I'll post the link in a subsequent message. Kathy
