Dr Margaret White...

...was a leading pro-life campaigner, one of the earliest members of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, a family doctor, magistrate, and a Christian woman of immense faith and courage. Today, her funeral at a country church gathered together family and friends together and we remembered her with much love...she leaves a wonderful heritage to her children and grandchildren, and to so many of us who learned from her wisdom, knowledge, and common sense. She was tireless in her defence of unborn children and in support of marriage and family life: she spoke at schools, colleges, women's groups, conferences, gatherings in Parliament, international events...many young people were helped by her wise counsel and genuine concern for their welfare, and many of us were inspired and encouraged by her Christian commitment.

I first met Margaret in the early 1970s, and I belong to a generation who looked up to her as a mentor, and will always be grateful to her. May she rest in peace, and may God reward her for a life of generous service...
