To Gretta and family,

To begin, I am sorry for the loss of your mother she will be in our prayers and memories. She was a wonderful person. She sure knew how to make me laugh and feel better on a bad day with her jokes and stories. It was never a dull moment with her. She was a wonderful person and will never be forgotten. I know she is up there watching from above you, your family and all of us. Maggy, I know you're up there watching over us. You're in a better place and we will miss you very much. I love you!!!!

My deepest sympathy! I will always remember Maggy as the center of attention were ever she was, she seem to captivate everyone with one of her funny stories or jokes! On her serious side she was always mothering everyone and always wanted to help, when ever you needed some tough advise or a swip kick to get you back on track you could always count on Maggy!! I wasn't only shocked by this i was sadden that someone so special was gone!!

We share in your grief and pray that God will give you strength and that your faith will sustain you at this moment of sorrow. Be comforted that she is an angel watching over you now. With all my love.

Maggy was one in a million. Her loving, caring personality will be missed dearly. To many she was a teacher, a mother, a confidant. To me, Maggy was all of these things and more. She will always have a place in my heart. I will miss you, Maggy your laugh, your smile, your hugs. But most of all your LOVE.
