After almost 99 years, the lord has finally claimed His sweetest angel on earth. Margaret Parkinson Dobbs was the most amazing grandmother, and is now His sweetest angel in heaven. I have so many wonderful memories of this special lady. One could not ask for a more perfect grandmother, and I was blessed to have her in my life for this long. I love you, Memaw, and will never forget you.
