Hello Oscar, Gail, and Kathy. Our newlywed home has so many memories of Dale and Margaret! What great neighbors. What a blessing 26 years ago to have them! And because of them, we met you! Just thinking of them makes us smile. Truitt and Leticia Rogers

I am so sorry to hear this bad news. I have known Margaret since junior high school and we have remained friends since then. We knew how to laugh together and we enjoyed many of our school reunions. We had fun working together on our 60th last year. I am sorry for your loss.
