Margaret was a sweet lady who I only knew from Sentara Nursing Center. We met when my mother was room mate to Anne, Margaret's buddy. I will truly miss her, but know that she is now at peace & done with pain. She was a loving, caring person who has been welcomed home in the loving arms of God.

Linda, Ben did not know of your Mom's passing until today (6/29). He is living with us now. My Mom (Nell Riddick Ferguson) and Margaret were really good friends for a long number of years. Ben still goes up to Taylor Burgess several days a week to visit. He had tried to call Margaret just last week. Thinking of you and your family, Diane & Jim Scullion, Benjamin P. Riddick

Our thoughts and love go out to Linda, Randy and Tommy especially at this time. We were fortunate to have the Cook's as neighbors twice and have many memories of those times. Margaret was a beautiful person and loved her family so much. I know you will miss her but knowing she is with the Lord will provide you with the comfort that only comes from Him.

I'm glad I got to meet you Aunt Marge. I'm sorry that was our only meeting. But you have such a wonderful spirit. A smile that made your eyes sparkle! I know you had quite a homecoming yesterday. I know you will bless them with your presence as you did here on earth. R.I.P.

Your great niece,
Cindy Jenkins
