Eddie and family,
We are so sorry we were unable to get to Staunton for Aunt Margaret's service. G.H.'s current illness prevents our travelling. Please know that we are thinking of you as you face the days ahead.
G.H. and Barbara Jordan Walton

Margaret was a wonderful and remarkable lady. You could tell what she cherished the most was her family. Margaret and Ed were an amazing couple. You very seldom saw one without the other. They were both so gracious and kind. They both will be missed.
