I am truly saddened by the loss of Aunt Margaret. I remember 29 years ago when we moved to 608, Aunt Margaret and Uncle Bronson came over with 2 bushels of green beans from their garden for mom ( Hilda ) to snap and can. In the winter she would help mom sew and make Amy and I clothes to wear to school. On Sundays as we walked to church, Aunt Margaret would always be outside watching to make sure we made it across the road, and always gave us a hug. She was the only person that could give hugs like mom. Her memories will live on forever. May God give her eternal rest and may her soul rest in peace. She truly is an angel.

I am saddened by Margaret's death. She was "one of a kind" and special in every way. The way she lived her life could be a testimony to all of us. I feel blessed to have known her. I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. My thoughts and prayers go out to her Family and Friends during this sad and difficult time. May God's blessings be with you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Aunt Margaret was a wonderful lady. I have many fond memories of her and Uncle Bronson as I was growing up. Her smile will never be forgotten. She loved her family and her grandchildren. My condolences goes out to the family during this difficult time. Hold tight to all the memories, it will help you get through this time.

Margaret lived next door to our aunt
and uncle,Jimmy and Ruth McElroy for
fifty years.
During family sadness or fun picnics
Margaret would bring her delicious
homemade baked pies.
Most of all, we'll remember her pleasant
smile and willingness to help others.
Our sincere condolences to her
family during this time.
Sincerely,
Becky and James Wheeler
