Dearest Friend, I think of you every day and the good times we had together and we did have some great times. Shopping--dinners or just hanging out . It is hard to believe it has been 15 years. I know that you are at peace with no pain. That is very comforting to all of us who loved you. RIP Dear Friend.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you! Midge was a wonderful woman and felt very fortunate that she crossed our path here at Lake Juliana Landings. She will be greatly missed!

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

My most deepest and heartfelt sorrow to everyone for the loss of the most beautiful woman I have ever met. I was blessed to have met her for she has left with me such a positive impact on my life. I wish I could have had more time with her, she had such a way with life that truly impressed me.
This world's loss is Heaven's gain, because they inherited an angel.
To you, the angel in Heaven, I have been and always will everyday of my life remind your grandson Jayce of his Grandma that loved him even before she met him.

To the Family and Companion of Margaret,
The statement that Margaret was a ray of sunshine is so beautiful and describes her the way we thought of her. My Mother, Eleanor Dill, was at the Johnes Home from October 2002 till she met her demise in October 2004. My Mother loved the Johnes Home because Margaret was there. I remember the first day my husband and I brought my Mother to see the place. Margaret immediately liked her and made her feel very important and comfortable. They just clicked. Margaret told me how much she liked and loved my Mother many times. Mother died right before Margaret told everyone she was leaving. We both talked about how happy we were that she never knew about it. I think it would have broken her heart. Whenever my Mother had a problem Margaret was there for her. In my Mother's obituary we mentioned her love for the Johnes Home and the staff that was there. I was never sorry nor did I ever feel bad that my Mother was there. The weekend before she died she had a wonderful time at a party there. She told me how much she loved the place. It was all about the staff and the family that donated their beautiful home for an adult residence.
Margaret was indeed a beautiful person. She was a person who worked hard at making other people happy. My Mother broke her shoulder when she was there, and it was Margaret who did not make her go to a nursing home to recover. She was there to dress her, and to help her through the unpleasant happening.
Please accept our sympathy for your loss, and I am so happy that I can share our feelings with you about wonderful Margaret.
Sincerely,
Arlene and David Komyathy
