My Aunt, my Godmother. Aunt Margaret was just a phone call away! I will treasure all the times I spent with her through out the years! She had an abundance of love for everyone who touched her life. She will be deeply missed. I do believe she is in a better place and will always be watching over her loved ones. Aunt Honey, Greg and I send our deepest and extended sympathy to Fred, Peggy, Diana and Family,

Sorry about your Mom Fred. Carol and I felt we knew her well. We enjoyed her visits and our long chats with her on her visits to Rehoboth.

Pat and I never had the pleasure of knowing Margaret. We do know that she raised a charming and great son named Fred. It is our prayer that he and the rest of the family find peace and enjoy God's blessing in this time of sadness and sorrow.

I have many wonderful memories of my Aunt Margaret, I remember her sewing the most, I learned so much standing by her and her sewing maching. May she Rest in Peace, And the good Lord bring peace to her family also. John 3:16

May 2, 2012

As you grieve the loss of such a dear one, may it help to know others are thinking of you. Job 33:25 provides comfort in knowing that when Margaret awakens from sleep, she will live each day to the full with youthful vigor.
Until then, may God help you to stay strong and comfort one another.
