My mother, Helen Burrell, who loved Margaret so will probably not be able to attend the funeral due to her health. However, they were dear friends and loved each other like sisters. We want you all to know you’re in our prayers and we know your mom is in Heaven never to be sick again. Our love to all.
Your mom was a very special lady and loved by everyone who knew her. Please know that we share in your grief and extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I cannot even begin to say how much we loved this sweet lady. She and my mother, Letha Pinkerton, were best friends for many years. My husband and I live in Memphis, Tennessee and would come often to visit loved ones in Asheville. When we met Margaret 10 years ago, she quickly became one of our ‘loved ones’. She opened her home to us many times and treated us like family. We will miss her, but just know that our lives have been blessed by having known her! Much love and prayers to you all!
