Dear Peter, David, and Matthew, I have so many wonderful memories of your dearest mom and dad. I was saddened to read your mom has passed away. I hadn’t heard from her this Christmas and I looked online and found she went to be with the Lord in September.
Watching you grow up next door, was a great honor. I see your mom hanging laundry outside, tending her rhubarb, and enjoying many great chats. Coffee Break was a highlight on Tuesday mornings for me, Michael and Mark.
My heart is with you and your families, what a blessing and honor it is to have my memories of your mom, dad, and all of you. Much love.

Margie was a friend of mine, when she and her husband were serving the Evangel Baptist church in Wheaton, ll, Her husband Paul, the pastor of the church, was a college classmate of mine. They had a wonderful ministry and Coffee Break reached many women. She was very kind and gracious. My sympathy to the family. Sincerely, Ruth Gibson
