Dear Patti & Colleen and family: So sorry to hear of Aunt Margaret's passing. Never easy to lose any parent and seems so final when the 2nd is gone. May you find relief in knowing her sufferings are over and I am sure Uncle Allen is smiling that huge, all-teeth-showing smile as they reunite for eternity with Our Lord. I will always remember her kindness and her always being cheerful and smiling. May all your happy memories help you all at this most difficult time.

Colleen & Patty, how blessed you two were to have her as your Mama. I so enjoyed visiting with her when we both came to you , Colleen, to have our hair done. I have retold the story she told on herself back then so many times where she said she had accidentally put her dishcloth she normally wiped the table down with after a meal in her refrigerator and started to wipe the table down with a piece of meat she had wrapped to put in the refrigerator. We all had such a good laugh and it has brought a smile to me many times over the years as I pulled similar stunts. I look forward to visiting with her again in Eternity.
