For many years, I lived very close to the Holmes family. Margot was a beautiful mother, devoted person and an avid gardener. Much appreciation goes to Angela (my daughter Margaret's best friend and playmate) for the care she gave her mother, especially the 101 pandemic days she spent with her. My heartfelt sympathy to all.
