Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

So sad and tragic. I served as a seasonal interpreter during college and my mother was a park ranger for 21 years. My prayers go out to the family and all the NPS family for this senseless loss.

As a seasonal Park Ranger, I have many NPS friends who are law enforcement officers. They are indeed special, protecting park resources as well as park visitors. It is so sad that someone as young and dedicated as Margaret was killed. Such a callous act. My heart goes out to her family, coworkers and friends.
