Gail and family - What a precious lady Margaret was. When I first began working with her at South Central Bell in 1979, I was absolutely scared to death of her. But soon we began having lunch together, and she proved to be a dear friend for many years. She was special to me in many ways as she and my daughter, Leslie, shared April 4 as their birthdays, and my Christmas tree is decorated every year with all the special ornaments she made and so generously shared. She'll forever stay in my heart as a special person, and I look forward to making crafts and knitting dishcloths with her in Heaven.

Her humble and happy spirit will always be dearly thought of in my heart. We will miss her very, very much. I know Margaret will truly be safe in God's memory until He brings her back to life to enjoy perfect health and youthful vigor forever in His coming paradise on earth very soon!
