I was truly devastated to hear Ms Margie passed.
Ms Margie was friends with my parents before I was born. The story told to me was they lived in little army barracks on a street called Mulberry along with other families of Springfield Ohio in the 40s. I always loved her because I knew her from a child. And she knew me from my Mother's wound. And I was so thankful she remembered my birthday every year. The day she passed I had my telephone book out to find her number to call her to see how she was doing. Don't put off for tomorrow what you need to do today.
Although, she left behind her beautiful children and grandchildren, I know she is okay because she is with her husband and sister Ms Rosie.
May Ms Margie Rest In Heavenly Peace Until we see her again in God's heavenly home.
I will miss her pretty sweet face.
