Grandma Maggie.. oh I miss your warm smile. I miss your call for tortillas fresh off the stove. I remember your house we lived at on high street that basement still creeps my thoughts. I need them GI joes from the barrel down there so I just had to surpass that fear. I still hear your voice say it will all be ok. I remember how you light up any room. I know heaven got a lot brighter as you stepped in. It's hard to not be selfish I know you are with God. I know I'm seeing you again in God's time. You helped us all be strong and I'm indeeded to you for this. I will serve the lord and I will remind our family to do just that. We will meet somewhere in the middle. For the morning has much to offer. Love your grandson Raymond and family

To Marie and family,

Your mother's mother, Electa, was married to my Grandfather, Herbert Carrow for many years. They lived in Grand Ledge, out by Anderson Archery. Marie, you are probably the only one of your brothers and sisters who would remember that. My Mother, Helen Carrow Cole, died this past summer at the age of 94. She had asked me to notify your mother (many years ago), when she died, and I forgot all about it until I saw your Mother's obituary in the paper.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

My deepest prayers go out to all of your family at this time... Margaret was very close to me when we worked at Sparrow together and we lived together on High St. We all had some very fun times together back in those days. I know that we all lost touch when we all moved our separate ways but we were always close at heart. I know now that she is in a much better place a happier now. She's up there now with her loving son Joe and finding God and a whole new world. May God bless each and every one of you in a special way at this time in a special way. All My Love, Margaret (PERK)
