Margaret was in our class (1961) at Rule High and we have stayed in touch through the years. The last time I saw her was at the radiologist at Fort Sanders Hospital. I was being treated for breast cancer and she was there as they had found a spot on her lung. Good memories of high school and reunions.
Our sympathy is extended to her family.

I love you nana. Selfishly I want you here, but I know in my heart 100% as soon as you took your last breath in your diseased body on earth you entered into the kingdom of heaven without any pain, sickness or burdens. You will never be forgotten. I will never forget you, I promise to keep your memeory alive by sharing pictures and stories with the girls. You helped me raise my babies and I am blessed they will always carry a piece of you with them. I can not wait to see you again nana.... until then my heart will always have a missing peace taken out of it because you are Irreplaceable nana. We love you.
