So loved Margo. We will never forget you, but have so many lovely memories from when we were young nurses training to our so many laughs recently, even if what just over the phone. Love and miss you so much ❤️❤️Xxx

Our dearest Auntie Margo, the most magical lady who blessed us with her love, her laugher, her smile, her cuddles and kisses, her encouragement, her empathy, her Scottish ray of sunshine and most of all her magic! Forever in our hearts and always in our thoughts and will be missed each and everyday.
All our love always Lynsey, Rocky, Jaylen and Iylah

Our hearts go out to you all in your time of sorrow, someone so special can never be forgotten. Rest in peace Margo
“Margo’s hill” is what our children called the grass down in front of your house. It was one of their boundaries growing up and had super fun sledging down there in the snow!
You left a bright smile on our world Margo and a memory with us all. Love to all your family x
Margo, such a beautiful lady gone too soon but that certainly leaves a beautiful family behind. The Firths are an incredible family and will continue to do you proud
Sending a lot of love, Abbie and Ash xxx
So sorry to hear of Margo's passing, our paths have not crossed for a while but I remember her smiley face from when Louise and Rhiannon were in the same class at Bourton Meadow School.
Thinking of you all at this sad time. Rest peacefully Margo.

Sorry, I am not really sure what you’re meant to say here but this is Margo for me.
When I think of my Auntie Matn’y, I think of so many happy times and memories. It’s the simple things I will miss. Her big smile, love of life, and calling me (and everyone else I’m sure) “Pet”.
If I hadn’t seen Auntie Matn’y, (and Paul) for years, it was never awkward. Just good times catching up and laughing. So many happy memories including our families holidaying in Puerto Pollensa as kids or my wedding when she outlasted almost everyone the night before...
See you on that dance floor again Auntie Matn’y,
Rest in Peace Pet
Love, Paul, Alison, Lewis & Lukey

To our dear friend Margo. To happier times and lovely memories xx

Lots of love

Sweetest darling Margo, Paul, Victoria, Ross & Rhiannon, you will always be, ‘The Five Firths’ to us!
Full of sunshine and laughter, and always up for a bit of madness and partying!
I remember admiring your beautiful family, when we all first moved to our village, over thirty years ago, and when our wee Cronnie Family only numbered three!!! Now we are five, just like you, and I do recall asking you both, just what it was like having three wee scallywags, as even yours were back then!!!
Needless to say, your answers were always positive - as our family now bears testament to, too!!!
I always thought of your precious Margo/Mum as my big, strong, mad, funny, extremely capable and wonderfully professional friend and nurse from Scotland, who, like me, found herself in sunny Steeple Claydon, later to be joined by sweet Diane & Gordy! A wee band of merry Scots, though you have always been the Drum Major!!!
Ken, Lara, Natalie & Joe, and I cherish so many memories, especially of birthday parties long ago, garden slides turned into water flumes, splashing into pocket sized paddling pools on sunny days, trendy ‘big boys’ and girls’ discos’ and goodness knows what else!
Impromptu meetings in our sunny fields, when wee family stories would be shared and the gaps left by the years passing all too quickly, were sketchily filled in, amid laughter, merriment and always, big smiles and hugs both warmly given and received.
Times we’d collide in the alleyway, me on my bike, or possibly rushing off to work while while sweet Claire and Margo walked your faithful pooches, always eager to be let off their leashes - not so different to their owners!!!
Well, Margo certainly pulled a fancy trick out of a hat this time, but the warmth of her beautiful laughter and smile, warm, squishy hugs, and sing sing Scottish tones ringing out in their familiar way, will live forever in our hearts and souls.
She’ll scold me roundly for my tears, so bravely, though nowhere near as bravely as all her beautiful, bonnie family, I shall turn them to laughter, as tears of joy just simply would not do!
We shall be thinking of you all and of all your special Ladies along and near St Michael’s Way, all the Scallywag Dad’s and precious, ‘ Children/aka The Kids’ - our kettle is always on, just can’t promise a swing and slide anymore, but we did recently have some very old videos popped onto DVDs, so there should be entertainment aplenty! Wouldn’t want to let our pal down!!!
With gentle thoughts and truly heartfelt wishes to you all, our dear friends The Firths,
May the joy and peace that was Margo‘s gift to so many in both her professional and personal life, fill your hearts and homes and all you know and love, as your beautiful Family grows over the many years yet to come of Paul & Margo’s precious Dynasty.
With gentle love always, The Cronnies xxxxx
Paul, Victoria, Ross and Rhiannon,
We were so very saddened to learn that Margo had been ill and has subsequently died with her funeral taking place today . We hold our time as neighbours to you all with great affection, even the parties Margo organised , but maybe not the karaoke one! Margo was such a spirited lady, enjoyed life and I will always be thankful to her for taking me under her wing as the new mum on the block all those years ago . Our thoughts are with you all . Andrew & Melanie x
All my love to the family and everyone affected by this horrible experience
Dearest Margo, thank you for the memories, the laughs and your love. Know that we returned it right back to you and Paul and continue to do so. With lots of love, Simon, Louise, Alfie, Jess and Ellie. And Granny Pat and mate too, xxx
We are deeply saddened by the news of Margo's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family xxxx
Paul, Vic, Ross, Rhiannon,
Words cannot explain how much I wish I could be there to celebrate the wonderful woman that is your wife and mother. She was an incredible woman and I am so thankful that I was able to have met her and have her as a small part in my life. I must say that my absolutely favourite memory is at Vic's hens day when we had to choreograph a dance to Islands in the Stream and I taught both Margo and Lyn how to bend and snap. I taught them how to check the oven to make sure the quiche was cooked properly and then pop back up. When I came to visit a couple of years later and we were having dinner I remember Margo calling me into the kitchen to ask if I wanted to see the pudding, I was confused and looked and said how lovely it looked. She told me I was doing it wrong and proceeded to bend down and snap back up. It was wonderful and I will forever remember it.
Love always,
Adam
Thinking of you all as you say goodbye to such a lovely lady x
I will always remember going to Salou with Margo and her Mum and Dad We had such Fun In the Sun🌞
We always enjoyed her visits with Paul for a catch up when she visited Scotland
We were all so blessed to have Margo in our lives
She will remain in our hearts forever
Jane and Lawrence 💕💕💕💕
We will all miss your smiling happy face and the wicked humour
The mother and daughter outings are amongst my favourite memories
So sorry to hear the sad news about Margo, Thinking of a lovely family who will be missing their wife, mum, sister and auntie. To me Margo was the best neighbour I ever had and a great friend who helped me at a difficult time.
Rest in Peace Margo- sorry I didn’t keep in touch and wherever you are I hope you can have a G&T
Love Karen xxxx
I'll miss you dear friend, but the memories will never fade. I have so many photos of all of us on family camping holidays, playing hibble dibble at dinner parties and all our get togethers with the kids, usually involving bath times . It was all part of life's rich tapestry.
Your service was beautiful and a huge tribute to you as a Mum and wife.
Rest in peace xxx
Dearesy Paul, Victoria, Ross & Rhiannon,
Dearest Paul, Victoria, Ross & Rhiannon,
We will miss Margo so very much.
Sending you all our love,

I remember Margo from Bourton Meadow PTA days. Subsequently it was always a pleasure to bump into her in Tesco (or on holiday in Puerto Pollensa) and catch up with news of our respective families. Heartfelt condolences to Paul and family. X
