Margret Foseid Cremation and Memorial

Hello brothers and sisters.

My name's Patrick Kowalski. One of my best friends passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday morning. Her name was Margret Foseid, or Maggie, or Mackadocious Maggie.

This is my plea to help her family. I was Maggie's emergency contact in Canada but first and foremost her best friend, roommate, and team dork with her. She was a girl with a big heart, seeing everybody as a person, the type of girl that would approach the homeless just to engage in conversation, just to brighten their day, a beam of positivity.

Maggie's family comes from a large farm family in Minnesota, U.S., who were just as shocked by the news of her demise as the rest of her friends and coworkers. There was certainly no preparation for having a daughter across the border in Canada having passed away. It is with a lot of grief and anguish over the last few days that many moments have left us completely drained while we can only try to do what feels is the most honourable thing, which is to at least help put together a most beautiful memorial in Hamilton Canada for all those she touched.

This fundraiser is for Sue Foseid and her family so that they may travel to Canada, to help with these unexpected expenses of cremating their daughter, and hosting a memorial back at home.

Our goal is to raise $5000. Whatever you feel comfortable with, $5 / $10 / $20. Please help the Foseid family.

The memorial for the Ontario Canada friends, is being lovingly covered by the gracious support of Erika @ Electric Diner Hamilton. Big thank you.

All of us at Maggie's workplaces, the Electric Diner in Hamilton, Carmen's Banquet hall in Hamilton, and her volunteering friends from the Ark Aid in London, all wish that we can bring together honour for Maggie, and to help ease the burden, as all of our lives have changed.

Erika @ the Electric Diner, your new Maggie's Stars employee of the month initiative is deeply moving and her mother already loves it.

Maggie. Always one looking to raise other people up.

If she sensed negativity or customers or coworkers down or grumpy, she would want to change it.

"Challenge accepted" she would say to herself.
