I enjoyed working with Margaret many years at Stanislaus County Public Health.  She was always professional as we made home visits to families in the area.  I respected her cultural knowledge and insight.  
   I can't believe she is gone.  She will always hold a special place in my heart.  

Margaret I miss you so much.We are doing as well as we can. I love you sister.

I miss you so much nana I will never forget every sacrifice you made for us and all the love you gave us im hurting knowing that I won’t see you for a while the holidays are coming up and you were the heart of the gathering and it sucks that you are not going to be with us . Thank you for loving me and my family as much as you did !!!!

My Tia.. thank you for being you. Thank you for loving me through every interaction and prayer all through my life. Thank you for planting the seeds that you did and know you will never be forgotten.  My heartaches deeply for your passing but I know you claimed victory throughout and this goodbye is only temporary. Your grace, strength and beauty inside and out will live on and is exemplified in your amazing daughter and granddaughters and the family legacy you leave behind. Until we meet again Tia Margaret.. I love you. 

Memories of my Aunt was always about really listening to you. She had a heart of a true woman of God. I remember looking at her hands. She had the prettiest hands. She touched so many people with those pretty hands. Her eyes were so pretty to look at. Those eyes looked deep into your soul so she understood everything you were saying.Im sure she was praying to herself for me and anyone she spoke to. My heart is sad, but I know she is so happy now waiting for us go meet her. Rest in peace my sweet Tia

Every interaction that I had with Margaret exposed a beautiful caring woman. Her family was so blessed to have had her and I know will continue to carry all those wonderful memories with them.
Prayers up to all the family members. Prayers for comfort and peace, just know that she is in our Jesus’s arms and is safe now

My beautiful, loving, gentle,caring Tia Margaret. We didn't get much time together but what we did was special. You and my Tio drove all the way down to take me and my mom to lunch and that meant so much and showed us your loving nature❤ Coming up with Tia Mary to Washington we had a great time too. You will be remembered with love here in Washington.  Love you Tia❤

My condolences to the Tellez and Arias family. You will forever be missed . A true warrior for Christ. You fought the fight and you are victorious with Jesus. Though you left a void in my heart; I’m happy you made it home to be with Jesus.
