To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me

My aunt Margaret.....we played and fought together as children...she being only 4 years older than I. We shared so much over the years....and when she visited us, we talked about our times together and laughed till we cried.! She was the youngest of 8 children and the last to pass from this world. She was a survivor, a caretaker and possessor of a great heart. Thank you Marge, for all the wonderdul memories. Till we meet again~! Your loving niece, Mariane

I will always cherish the way she could make cresents with ease. They were always the best. No perservatives, just made with love to melt in your mouth! Aunt Margaret had a wonderful sense of humor and she always had a spark in her eye that made you wonder what she was up to. I know there's a wonderful bakery in Heaven.

I remember Grandma Rusnak. She was such a cool grandmother. My sister and I stayed over her home a couple of times and she always treated us like we were one of her own grandkids. She was sweet and caring and a great grandma. I shall miss her.

We remember all the trips to San Diego. We remember some holidays spent together at our home with Margaret. She was great fun and with a great sense of humor. She will be missed.

Grandma always had a nice laugh.

This is one of Grandmas favorite poems, She loved it.

Foot Prints In The Sand

One night Grandma had a dream.

She dreamed
she was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from her life.
For each scene she noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to her, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of her life flashed before her,
she looked back at the footprints in the sand.

She noticed that many times along the path of
her life there was only one set of footprints.

She also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in her life.

This really bothered her and she
questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My child, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I carried you."

Margaret was always ready for a new adventure whether it be an impromptu trip across country, spending a day at Disneyland or playing Mom to my 2 yr old daughter while I was in the hospital (many years ago). My children, Margarets great niece and nephew will always remember her as the Aunt that made all those yummy crescents!!

She was my Aunt, my friend and my "laugh" partner. Over the years I had come to really love her sense of humor. We made many "stories" together and we laughed until we cried.

I miss you Marge and look forward to the day we are all together again. In the meantime enjoy the rest and ease.

I love you!

Margaret was always good for a laugh and telling a story (so many!). I have lost my "partner in crime" for ganging up on Bob (her nephew). She was a sweetheart with rough edges and I will miss her. She added to my life. Thank you, Margaret!
