I sure do love this lady. Margaret was always so sweet and kind to my Mother. She was a good friend to her and always went to visit her. She loved all the children in A Wanna and vacation bible school and was always there to help out when there was something going on at church. I will always remember Margaret as a kind and loving person and I know she is with our saviour and she is no longer hurting. I will miss you Margaret, go rest high on that mountain.
I sure do love this lady. Margaret was a dear friend to my Mother. She and Ken would visit her at her home and at the nursing home where she passed away. Margaret loved the children in A Wanna and vacation bible school. She helped the children with their verses and wanted them to do well. She was always there to help out whenever anything was going on at church. I know she is with our Savior and I know she is happy there. She will be an inspiration to me forever. Go rest high on that mountain Margaret, your work on earth is done.
