The 1st margaret was born into a family of church musicians, ministers, college professors and doctors.  She was a giving, caring person.  She became a nurse, got married and had a daughter.  She played piano for the Sunday school at her church.  She played piano for the worship services at what was then called General Hospital.  She taught children to play piano.  She taught people to love music.  She gave freely of herself to all who came to her.

The 2nd margaret grew up surrounded by music.  She went to journalism school, got married and had a daughter and a son.  She works with the choirs at her church.  She serves on the church boards.  She has taught children to read, and has written books for them.  She teaches children about God and the Church.  She teaches children to sing and to love music.  She gives freely of her talents to all who come to her.

The 3rd margaret grew up serving the church.  She sang in choirs and worked with younger children.  She studied religion in college, discovered she was gay, and when the Christians told her this meant she could no longer work with the children, she walked away.  She grieved for the life she could not have.  She composed music that no one heard.  She served a church that did not yet exist.  And she learned faith.  She gives freely to those who come in peace, and offers compassion to those who are unable to quiet their own judgement.
