Hearing the sad news about Margaret terrible. I sent her chemo hats that I'd knitted (13) and she wrote me to say that the pink one always got comments and was her favorite. She said that she didn't feel so bad about going out in public after that. I'm glad to have helped her.

Momma,
I don't know what to do or how to live my life without you. Each day that passes seems like just yestarday that I talked with you and heard your laugh. I want you here with me so much!!!!! I have lost all joy and am angry at everyone and everthing around me. Nothing has pleasure anymore because I can't share it with you. I don't want to go anywhere because I can't share it with you. I don't know what to do without you. It was the hardest thing in my life to do to count every last breath you took until there was no more. I would have breathed for you if I knew you didn't have to go through anymore pain. Momma I need you so much!!!!!!!!! I love you and I long for your presence here. There is some comfort knowing you are with Yeshua and he has healed you; but he left me empty without comfort - without you.

Reuniting with Margaret over the phone was wonderful and I spent many happy hours making her "kemo" hats and sending them to her. She loved them and one became her favorite. I know she looked beautiful in all of them; she was a natural beauty. I will miss her, but know she is in a better place now. I will also remember the high school days we spent together. My prayers of comfort to Margaret's husband, children, grandchildren & great grandchild.

I didn't know my dear friend was gone until today. I feel the loss. We had great times in high school; we'd double date, sit at the piano at my house, sing our hearts out, then laugh at our operatic drama ! I was blessed to find her in 2008 and talk with her a couple of times - and we laughed remembering the old days. I'll cherish her and the memories she has left with me. May God's strength and comfort be with her husband, her children, grandchildren and great grand child, during this sad and lonely time.

Margaret was a classmate of mine and a friend. We had great fun and laughter together. We lost contact with each other after high school but I remember her fondly and now feel that I have lost in not knowing her these years. Bless you all.
