Margaret continues to be loved by her oldest daughter, Terry, and her Mike. Her Margie and her Eddie. Her Linda and her Compa. Her son, Nito, and her Candy. Her baby, Janet, and her Kip. Her “queen” Lisa. Her mijos, Christopher and Anthony. Her babies, Zena, Ramonito, and Kiersten. Her Celina, Christian, and Adrianna. Her brother, Frank Beltran. Her sister, Kay Randosh. Throughout her life Margaret made everyone she knew feel special, including her kids, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, and her many friends.
