Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Johnny and I are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your mother. She is irrreplaceable but your memories of her will last a lifetime and bring you comfort. I know how proud she must have been of you. Lucy Massie
Great memories going to Church together so many years and so much fun going on trips We, Went to Mountains one time borrowed Robbies Van and R.E. and Thomas was in the front . Thomas driving the Van way up the Mountain R.E. kept telling Thomas to be careful and not go over the Mountain When we all got to the top of the Mountain we were so scared we ate snacks for Dinner. Cabin had all Water Beds but one in the cabin so we all decided that the Bed that wasn’t water should be for Margie and R.E. We had so much fun not knowing our cabin was at the very Top of the Mountain. We loved Margie and R.E. as if they were our Mom and Dad.. Thanks for all the wonderful memories. Margie and R.E. we loved You so much. Love Minnie and Thomas Billups
Paige and Robbie, I am so sorry for your loss. My mom, Sally Batts, is also at Spring Arbor. I would often see your mom when I was visiting and she was always so pleasant. I know, from my own experience with my mom, that, is some ways this is a blessing, but it’s still a loss and my heart goes out to you. Paige, you are a good daughter-in-law. I saw you visiting many times. God bless you all during this time. Ginger Bruce
she was such a sweet devoted mom and grandmom, may her memories bring comfort to the family
