Rest in peace lady thatcher, despite your mistakes I personally believe you meant well.Robin Sinclair Johnston
Peaceful, heavenly rest to Lady Margaret Thatcher. A model for leaders everywhere, man or woman. She was tough, smart, and graceful, and to my memory, always cared about what was right, rather than what might be fair. I had the opportunity to escort her and visit with her briefly when she came to Oklahoma in 1992, and she was incredibly gracious and common.Wayne Wilczek
