Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
A truly heartbreaking goodbye to a wonderful woman who was not only a loving and devoted wife, mother, daughter, and sister, but the best aunt I could have ever asked for. I am so grateful for all of the family meals, holidays, and vacations our families shared during our youth. Our parents were very brave people to travel with so many children in one car and only a couple of hotel rooms to house us all. So many wonderful memories of a life well lived. I love all of you, and you are in my prayers.
I love you, Mama. I miss you so much already, but I know there’s been a glorious reunion in Heaven!
A women who never waiver in her faith and did the best she could for her family and friends. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Bless you Margaret.

Heaven is brighter but the world is darker without your beautiful smile. Love and miss you Mama.
I will always miss your smile. I will always miss your advice, even though I did not heed it enough. I love you Grandma.
