I truly sad about Margy and her passing. I know that she IS with her King and Lord! That is very comforting to know that all who loved her will be seeing her again. She was my prayer partner and friend at WEW and we always sat together. She was such a blessing to me and everyone whose life she touched. It was an honor and priviledge to be called her friend...

Dear family, Your Margy will be missed by so many. She served the Lord with gladness. She was such a treasure. You really don't know what you have lost till you loose it. I always looked forward to BSF class years ago, to see what God had shown Margy that week. And she had so much written down it was in little bitty letters. Then years later God allowed me to serve beside her in WEW at Southside. What a blessing she was to be around. With our Breast Cancer in common it gave us another way to connect. I thank God for the divine apt in the post office parking lot, and the huge hug In the middle of SS one morning with her bald self. She was so beautiful. Little did I know that would be the last words and hugs we would share. Life is precious isn't it. I pray we can all be like Margy, all about the Lord's work. I will pray for your family in the days ahead as they will be hard. Trust the Lord as she did. Isa 41:10,13
with my deepest sympathy and continued prayers,
Kathy
