Some of my fondest memories as a young adult are of the days I spent at Margaret's Midway Bar. Playing horseshoes, going to Neal's wild parties with fireworks, firewater, and firearms. Margaret was an excellent cook too, I had her snapping turtle stew one time and it was absolutely fantastic. She made an awesome faux seafood dip for a party one time but no one but Neal, Brian McGonigle and myself knew it had been made from a 33 lb carp someone had caught the day before. She could cook anything and make it taste good. I'll always remember her trademark laugh and her sometimes gruff greetings she gave us. We always knew she had a heart of gold and truly cared about our well being. I offer my deepest heartfelt sympathy to the whole Chase Family, Steve Fiene

Dear Neal and Family, So sorry to hear of your loss. I have so many great memories of Margaret and the Midway. Margaret was always so kind to me, and always gave great advice to all of life's problems. I'm sure she is having a great time right now in Heaven, and no doubt, playing cards, singing a song, or dancing a polka!. We will all miss her!. I will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers always! With Deepest Sympathy, Brian and Luann McGonigle
