My Deepest Condolences to all the family.I am so sorry to read of Margaret's passing. Margaret & Bill both had such big hearts. When I was a young child I would stay some week-ends with this already big family, who always welcomed me as one of them.I remember on some nights after Margaret had closed the kitchen some of the girls would take me there & we would fix peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.The next morning she never said a word & I know now that she had to have known as children always leave crumbs.I remember her worrying about me riding Miles Allen's go cart as she was scarred I would get hurt but she let me try, I remember her putting a band-aid on my knee after I had a wreck on the bicycle,wiping off my tears then giving me a hug & sending me on my way.
I remember you Margaret & Bill always.

May you have eternal happiness in the house of the Lord & may all your children have peace in there hearts.

May your memories bring you peace and comfort. Remember that she is now at peace and in God's loving arms - that she loved you and she knows how much you all loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.
