This is the true story of my HERO.
In December of 2011 my sister Margo was diagnosed with cervical cancer. At the time she was just 24 years old and recently engaged; she had her entire life ahead of her. For nine grueling months she fought for her life with every ounce of her being, never without a smile one her face. She shared the cruel, often disappointing, reality of this unfair disease via a blog. Following her passing I felt strongly that her story should not end with her death. For that reason, I decided to continue her story. Come along for the journey of my sisters life prior to cancer, during cancer, and my families life without her.

I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. I saw her on TV getting her wedding gown. When I saw she had lost her battle, i was heart broken. Words can not express how I wanted to see her have more time to have a beautiful life. I know she is watching all of you now, and she is a beautiful angel beaming with brightness. God bless all of you.
I just watched SYTTD and anxiously waited st see if there was an update of how Margo was doing and Now I sit here crying to know she passed away. What a courageos and beautiful young woman, she has the face of an angel, she is an angel. So very sorry for your temporary loss for you will meet once again and rejoice.

Hi, I’m 11years old and I just watch the episode of SYTTD with ur sister and was broken down in tears when I found she had passed. I hope she rest in peace and is happy on the other side. I love her braveness and how determine she was. She will always be in my heart.
Hello, I just watched episode of SYTTD with your beautiful sister. I was so inspired by her spirit and beauty! She was so brave and strong. It broke my heart when I saw the ending. I am so sorry for you and your familes loss. She has touched so many lives with her story and her spirit! What an amazing young woman with an amazing family!
Wow just saw the episode of sytd and was so sad at the end. It’s amazing to see how many people googled her after seeing the episode. She exuded so much positivity and light in that episode I can imagine how her life was. So sad to hear.
I just watched the syttd episode with your awesome sister. She just glowed in her dress and that smile! What can I say. We were clapping and cheering when we saw her wedding and then crushed at the end. The term ” heart sick” is how we felt. How could someone in 30 minutes make you feel so connected with her.. Who knows but it happened. Thank You to you her family for sharing Margo with the world. You gave us all a wonderful gift.
As the majority of people I saw Margo on an episode of SYTD and was at the gym during the episode. I was completely shocked and heartbroken when they put … in loving memory of Margo… I nearly fell off the piece of equipment and instantly felt ill as tears rolled down my face. She was not only beautiful but a huge inspiration and such a beautiful personality. My heart goes out to her fiancée family and most of her twin sister who’s lost part of herself.
I just saw your sister on Say Yes. My prayers are with you and your family. I am happy that she was able to marry the love of her life and enjoy that moment with loved ones. I pray that the family relishes in her memory. I lost both of my parents to cancer so I know how tough loss can be. May the fact that your sister is watching over you and the family from above give you peace.
I could replicate everything that everyone else has already said about this young woman, but then that would just be redundant. So I’ll just say this bless her heart, I was both moved and touched by spirit and her exuberance for life. Bless her family especially the twin sister that she left behind to continue to carry the torch that exemplified the brilliance that was her life. God bless you Blaine.

Just watched Margo on SYTTD and could not believe my eyes to see she had passed. I feel heartbroken for you all!! It came across so well that she was a warm loving person. I bet she is greatly missed!
I just watched SYTTD with Margo and was so excited to see how beautiful she looked on her wedding day and it quickly turned to tears when I saw that she had passed away.
I just sat and watched SYTTD for the FIRST time EVER and low and be hold it was your sisters episode. I was in tears from the beginning since i went through taking care of my mother who also passed from cancer, and devastated (like jaw hitting the ground) when i saw your sister had passed the same year my mother did. I have finally met the man of my dreams and have the family ive always wanted. I have a hard time thinking of me having a wedding and my mother not being there. Your sister is giving me the courage to see this as a beautiful thing and want to start setting my date and get the ball rolling. Thank you and your family
I just syttd and very saddened to her about Margot passing away. Heaven has truly gained a beautiful angel. Sat here in tears. Sending love to you all from the Uk.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful sister with us all x

I watched your sister today on SYTTD for the 2nd time in about 6 months. She was a strong & beautiful young lady… My heart goes out to you & your family. I lost my daughter, Mia, to a terminal illness in 1998 (2 months from her 6th birthday) & I have missed & thought of her EVERYDAY!!!! Time does heal the rawness of the pain & you are forever changed but you can still find peace & joy….I thank God for choosing me to be her mommy…….Be blessed
I’ve just watched an old episode of SYTTD in England and it featured your sister. I could not believe it when the words came up at the end indicating that she’d died. I have never encountered a more beautiful soul with such an amazing attitude to life and an utterly dazzling smile. Some people just seem too good for this world and she was certainly one of them. I’m so glad she got to say her vows and have her special day but equally am so incredibly sorry for your loss. She was the type of person who is truly irreplaceable. And you are an incredibly special family. Love and condolences to you and Derek and I hope things are gradually becoming less painful with the passage of time.
