  7. To Margaret’s family and friends,
    I was fortunate to work at Greyhound Racing Victoria for 30 years, during which I came to know and greatly admire Margaret through her dedicated service to the Traralgon Greyhound Racing Club and her unwavering support of greyhound racing.
    Margaret and her family are wonderful people and Margarets commitment, kindness and leadership touched many. She will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
    Rest peacefully, Margaret.
