Dear Floyd, Luanna and family,
Margaret was one of the kindest, gentlest souls I ever knew, and it was a privilege to be related to her. Your memories of her will be a comfort to you, and she will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. We’re thinking of you and grieving with you.
Love,
Alma and Chuck
Luanna, I am so sorry to find out about the death of your mother. She was one of the nicest people that I can remember from the years that I lived in Candler. I will always remember her fondly.
We were very sorry to hear about Mrs. Miller. We enjoyed having her as our patron for many years and she will be missed. We will be thinking of you during this difficult time.

I was honored to be able to have the opportunity to take care for Mrs. Miller, and get to know her family. They are the kidest people I have ever met, and they have such a love for each other. We will miss Margaret, and her family. They inspired all of us everyday.
Dear Luanna and family
I am so very sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. I have such fond memories of you and I at your house, and you at our house all our growing up years. I am working for the Board of Elections and will be working tomorrow at the Early Voting site at Biltmore Square and will be unable to come to the service and i am so sorry because i really wanted to. We open in the morning at 8 and will be there until probably 3 because we also have to close the site because voting ends tomorrow, I am a chief judge there so it falls on me to be there until the end. Please know that my prayers are with you and your Dad and your children. I will check in with you later on, Your Mom was a dear and special lady.
love you, my childhood friend!

Dear Floyd, We can’t recall anyone who has given a better fight to win over her illness than Margaret. Neither can we think of anyone who has had a more loving and caring famiy than Margaret. Now, with the victory won, you each can rejoice that she is well and has joined the heavenly chorus to sing praises to our God. May God bless you. Bill and Audrey Roberson
