The following is from Annette Gibb, the neice of Margaret Ferguson.....

 

My name is Annette and l have been asked by my mum Mary Gibb who is the big sister of Margaret Ferguson to thank everyone for their donations. My mum said that everyone remembers each year the Ibrox Disaster but to our family and we would guess all the other victims families every day is Ibrox Disaster day as there is not a day goes by we do not think of our loved ones who were so tragically taken from us 40yrs ago. I was 5yrs old when my aunty Margaret died and l will always have that memory of growing up with a feeling of sadness that echoed through our home and l am sorry to say still does.

 

This Memorial Fund which has now been set up to errect a memorial bench at her grave is a wonderful gesture and once again the family of the late Margaret Ferguson who died so tragically at the Ibrox Disaster on the 2nd January 1971 would like to say a sincere thank you to everyone for their kind donations.

 

Annette.
