Condolence to the family to a beautiful friend and coworker Sandra Welfare.

I met Mrs. Gaters at Mellichamp Elementary School where she was employed as a Teacher's Aide. I absolutely loved talking with her because she always had something encouraging to tell you. Kind and patient are the first words that come to mind when I think of her. It was a shock to read about her passing but I know God welcomed her with open arms. My condolences to her loved ones and may God comfort and keep you always.

Sending condolences from Rev Lonnie Robinson and family

Sunset in this land is sunrise in the next, when we trust in God. My condolences to the family.

So shocked to hear of the passing of one that I admired very much. "Margaret Ann" as I called her, was a cousin that I didn't know for years and years, but once we came in contact with one another, our friendship grew. Keeping the family in thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. Margaret took care of my sisters and I for years when we attended O-Zone Daycare during our childhood. She was such a sweet lady and full of compassion for her kids at O-Zone. We send our condolences to her family and friends. God bless you all!

My condolences to the family. I worked with Mrs. Margaret at the OCSNB. She was pleasure to work with. My your memories always bring y'all joy and happiness went you think of her. Praying for the entire family.

My deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Mrs. Margaret Gaters. I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Gaters at Mellichamp Elementary school for a few years. She had a beautiful spirit. May God provide you comfort in the days ahead.
