Aunt Margaret is resting now. She was well cared for by her loving children. Each one of them carries a part of her in their hearts as they go through each day as caring and sincere people. I have many fond memories of Aunt Margaret that I will treasure. I pray for strength and peace to all the family members as they carry on.

Aunt Margaret is at peace now. She is no longer lost. She was quite the lady - beautiful and strong. She and Uncle Ray raised such a fantastic set of children - who stepped up and took such loving care of her. I humbly thank them for doing the hardest yet most important job of all - taking care of an ailing parent. May you all rest easier knowing you did the best for your Mom.
