Margaret Walston

To My First Lady; that was the initial impression I received when I shook your hand for the first time. Your were full of elegance and beauty from the day I came to meet you. You were truly my favorite patient! Your smile was genuine and perpetual, even when the pain was apparent in your eyes. You placed others before yourself, and entertained us all with stories of your wonderful family. Thank you for sharing your memories, and your wittiness. Your cognition and gracefulness thought out your last few months was inspiring, and impressionable. I learned from you that time is a gift, and love is unmeasured. I will treasure the moments you made me laugh, and the few times we cried. I will remember the story of Valentines Day, and the balloons that stayed afloat, long after the weeks had passed. I will wear pink today in your memory, and smile each time I think of you. You were always so "Pretty in Pink." May you forever be showered with balloons in heaven, and may you now rest in peace. We will all miss you dear lady!! You left quite a footprint in our hearts.....

My heart is so heavy as I think of you. The pain of watching my mom , your sister, hurting so badly from losing you is hard to bear. We will all be together again one day, but until then, your spirit lives on in us always. Rest in peace Aunt Margaret.

Mom and I only knew you for a short time, but never a more gracious lady than you. We will miss you and your beautiful smile and spirit. Ginger and Pat

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
