When I heard of Margaret's passing, I was saddened. Then my mind wondered back to when we were both members of the Inspirational Choir st St. Paul. I could hear her singing the lead part of "Going Uppa Yonder"...'If anybody ask me whereI'm going soon....I'm going uppa yonder to be with my Lord'. I could hear the quiet reserve and determination in her angelic voice. That thought gave me consolation because I could see that focus in the things she did. Now that she has gone to be with her Lord, she is at peace. I hope this thought will also bring consolation to the family and friends that loved her. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Thank you for loving us all as if we were you own. Thank you for taking the time to teach each of us how to read, write, count, spell and color within the lines!
Your inspiration will shine on forever and ever, AMEN.
Your family loves you more than you will ever know,

Any Sunday after church when I went to visit my friend, Nell (Dr. Waits) there was 10-year-old Margaret, crutches under her arms, braces on her legs and the brightest smile on her face! Making her laugh was my goal and my joy and I remember that she laughed a lot.
She accomplished much in her season of living and gave much pleasure and joy to many through her creative talents. I will miss her but I'll remind myself that she's now WALKING around heaven minus the crutches and minus the braces with the smile still
intact and brighter than ever before!
I'll be seeing you, My Dear Margaret!

To the Webster Family,
I thank God for having Margaret as my friend. She gave so much of herself to the children at St. Paul. She never had anything negative to say about anyone. She fought a good fight, but suffers no more. For now she truly is the angel that is assigned to watch over us all. Thank you for sharing her with me and the St. Paul Baptist church family.
