We were sorry to learn this morning that Marguerite had passed away. Our aunt, Carolyn Holt Head, was a lifetime friend of Marguerite, and so looked forward to visting her when she was in Little Rock from McLean. She spoke of her so often. It is sad to lose all the old connections in your life. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
