I hope you can find peace in knowing "The Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort" can and wants to help you during this difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 Darlene Robbins | Jun 24, 2020 Margaret and I were friends and PEO sisters for many years. We also played bridge together. My maiden name is Collins and I had a brother named Jim so we enjoyed that coincidence too. Margaret was such a pleasant lady and has been missed since she left Waterloo. Please let me know when the memorial will be held so that our PEO chapter can be notified. Darlene Robbins 319-233-8571 Jane Hasek | Jun 24, 2020 Our thoughts and prayers are sent to Margret's family. She was a special lady and always supportive of Allen and Allen College. The College is proud to have a scholarship in her name. Jane & Wayne Hasek Dr. Jane Hasek, Chancellor Emeritus and founding Chancellor of Allen College. Load more comments Thank you for the comment!
