Only the sweetest moments come to mind when I recall being in Aunt Margaret's presence. Quite a keen sense of humor as well, bordering on mischief.:) She will be missed by many, as was witnessed by so many visitors at the services this past weekend. Our family will continue to remember you all and wish you peace.

Dear Robert and family,
I only learned today (3/29) of Margaret's passing and was very sad to not have had the opportunity to come and pay my respects in person. I have sweet memories of her when we would visit, and Mama always thought the world of her. I suppose that they are catching up as we speak! Thank God for the promise we have in Him. I will be thinking of you and praying for your comfort in the days ahead.

We are so sorry to hear that Margaret has passed on. It is so hard to let go of the ones we love but as so many others here have said she is in a much better place. She has a new body now and is where there is no sickness, sadness, pain or tears. She was a very special lady and we will always cherish our memories of her. We are praying for your comfort and peace in one of the saddest times of our lives. If there is anything we can do, please me know. Love to everyone.

Dear Buckland family, I was saddened by the passing of your mom and wife. I really enjoyed seeing your mom come into Dr. Hurley's office. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word for anyone she met. Remember, "to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord" We will see her again if we are saved. What a hope!

It is with great sadness that I sign here today. Having visited with dear sweet Aunt Margaret this past August, I had no inkling, and no one but God knew, that today we would be experiencing such loss. For all my years, I remember her with respect and admiration; as a wonderful, caring wife who served and loved her husband.
I'm very fond of all my family, but as we gather during these times of grief, I am especially thankful for those who have been a significant part of my life. I will miss her dearly. Nevertheless, let's not grieve for her because of the hope we have in Christ (Thessalonians). Let's celebrate her life and the joy she now knows in the presence of her Savior Jesus Christ, the one true God.
