Dear Uncle Bob, Bobby. Darin, Kevin and Scott and family,
My heart is heavy for all of you.. Aunt Maggie was definitely a one of a kind, one in a million kinda of woman.
Although she she the most stern women I'd ever known but had the biggest heart under all that sternness. I know this because saw it first hand for 51 years growing up around her almost every day..
The heart that yourwife and motherhad for others is a rare gift to the many people who had the privilege to know her and be blessed by her.As you grieve the passing of your wife and mother, know that you have many people who love and care about you and who want to help you in any way that we can.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family. She will be dearly missed by many, and we are holding all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Please remember FAMILY is everything..
All my love and support,
Tina Belknap and family
