Thread Name: Obit: Maggie Cruickshank RIP (Nov 2012)
Subject: RE: Obit: Maggie Cruickshank RIP
We were greatly saddened to hear about dear Maggie's death.
Having grown up alongside Maggie and Liz, a few doors apart, our families were intertwined in many ways. Liz and I were very close through Sunday School upwards, and both primary, secondary schools. Maggie was a few years older than myself and she and my sisters were as close as I was with Liz. It was Maggie that introduced Liz and I to The Howff, the legendary Edinburgh folk club, at which our love of folk music began and has stayed with us always..

Since Liz died, Maggie continued her constant love and support of the music and the people involved, if ever I wanted any info on anybody on the scene I only had to ask Maggie.
Max, Maggie's brother and his wife, Pat, have been a great support and help since Maggie took ill, and Liz's boys, David and Martin , were looked after with all the love Maggie could give.
We will miss Maggie greatly but will remember the fun, laughs and good times always.
Our condolences go to Max, Pat, David and Martin.
Lena and John James.
