Jan 4.12 from Joanne Orman Dickens:
Dear Chamberlains,
I was so sorry to hear of you losing Margret. I always thought a lot of your mom and especially appreciated her sense of humor. I have lots of fun memories of Pike Fair and visiting your farm on Fox Hill.
I have a Snoopy ornament that your mom gave me years ago. Every year when I hang it on the tree, I think of your mom. I will continue to do that. I know that this is a very difficult time for all of you. Please know that old friends are thinking of you and sending heartfelt sympathy. Joannie

Dec 10.11 from Rex McHail and Shirley:
We were sorry of hearing of Margret's passing. I was her carving instructor for many years at the Rochester Museum and Science Center. She was a wonderful student, artist, carver and painter and always brought joy and pleasure into the class.
Dec 8.11 from Ken and Helen Lyon:
Our condolences to the family. We wish you peace, comfort and wonderful memories.
Dec 8.11 from Ginny Sommersdorf:
Margaret was one of my favorite relatives because she shared common interests with me.We were both widows to wonderful guys and both struggling with people trying to take advantage of our widowhood. She was gutsy about traveling by herself and did beautiful carvings of birds. I loved having her visit me in Florida. She loved her family and was so pleased with her grand children. It was hard for her to see her world shrinking. I know she is in heaven and planning her next endever with Paul.
Dec 8.11 from George and Dorothy Hake:
Our sympathy to all the family of our cousin, Margaret. Even though we didn't see each other much, when we got together or talked, she always said, "Let's take another trip to Florida," as the two of us drove down one year and she often came down to take wood-carving courses.
We will miss her and send our condolances to the family.
Dec 8.11 from Susan Fye:
I will certainly miss my friend Margaret.
Dec 8.11 from Barry and Sharon True:
Dear Family, We are so sorry for your loss. So many thoughts go through my mind and it takes me back to the fair. They are happy ones. Wow, was that a long time or what. I can still see the Chamberlain gang there with their Jerseys. Back then the Jersey breed was the minority at the fair but now they out number the breeds. Little tomboy Amy beating up anyone she needed to no matter how big or small and she could. Your Mom will be greatly missed just like your Dad. They are together now but she will be always watching. She will send a message if she needs to. With this many Grand and Greatgrand children, this generation will continue for sure. She will live in your hearts for ever. Take Care. Barry and Sharon True.
