Margaret Hoggatt was overwhelmed after her mother died in 2006. It wasn't just the grief of losing a beloved parent. Her mother, Rosemary, had lived in a small house on Tropic Boulevard in Largo for nearly 30 years. The 1,300-square-foot home was crammed with the things she collected and adored - elephant knickknacks, angels, ceramic roses, kitchen gadgets, cookbooks. ...more
