Margaret, you were the best friend that I ever had. I still miss you and will never forget you. Sometime I find myself wanting to call you. I know that's not possible. But one day I will see you again.

Hold fast to the precious happy memories that you shared from her childhood through her adulthood. God will certainly heal your wounds and fill that emptiness, although He won't replace her.

Margaret was a wonderful lady to work with, always smiling and laughing. Her presence has been missed these past months at EKL. Rest in peace Margaret.
