To the family of Margaret Gang,
Margaret was the finest example of friendship, loyalty, beauty and grace. I served as President and sang with her for many years in the Syracuse Liederverein and she always was supportive of preserving the German culture and singing. Personally I have never met anyone who more of a LADY than Margaret. She will always be remembered for her hospitality and welcoming smile. My heart is deeply saddened and I offer my sincerest condolences.
