Win, Eliza, and entire Stevens family, So many memories of our families frolicking at the family compound over the years and those memories came rushing back when word reached me in South Carolina of Margaret Lyle’s passing. Your father was always so supportive and provided so much leadership, so happy that they will be together again. Hope that all your fondest memories give you peace and I offer condolences from my entire family. Hope to see you all soon...Botts

Winthrop, Your grandmother enjoyed everything you did at Westminster especially when you were in sixth grade and played Goliath in one of our youth musicals several years ago. I am grateful for the chance to know Margaret Lyle who was always a devoted grandmother and lots of fun to be with. Susan Williamson

Win and Eliza: So many happy memories of our childhood, and carpooling to Tatnall. Your mom was so good to me when I was at your home, and she included me in various outings on your sailboat, skiing, and the like. She was full of cheer and always welcoming. I am thankful for her strong and positive influence on me growing up. Dave
