Thank you all for your heartfelt condolences! I still miss her to this day! Always loved her hugs! I'm posting this 2 days after my Grandpa, her husband, has passed away. We will miss him a lot, but he is finally united with her in Heaven! I know she was waiting for him, along with The Lord! I know he was ready to be with her! If anybody needs help or is family that wants to contact me, I am on Facebook. I understand loss is not easy and we can all grieve together.
Sincerely with Love, Julien

I'm sorry to hear of Margie's passing.
Not seeing her in recent years gives way to those times when she and her family played wonderful music together.
I still see all three sisters playing and singing on the front porch of their home on Lorton Lick Road. When Mom(Bernice White) and Grandmother Grace Turner went to visit it was always a treat. May your hearts fill with wonderful memories and joyous times as I remember. Our deepest sympathy to everyone.
Love and prayers,

Jim and Family,
I was so sad to hear of Margie's passing. She always had a great sense of humor and I remember fondly all the times that we came to Roanoke to visit you when I was a child. The last time I talked to her was when she called me when she learned that Jill had passed away. She was so thoughtful! My prayers will be with you all.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you Aunt margie that are the most precious.
