Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I met Ms. Margaret at Lexington District @ 1 when she was a Teachers Asst. in my sons special needs classroom. She was such a loving and caring person and the children loved her. As a parent I felt my child was in very capable hands when she was in the classroom. I never had any fear that my child would not be taken care of when "Miss Margaret" was there. We, the parents and children, loved Ms. Margaret and she will be sorely missed.

John and I love Neal and Laura and have treasured their friendship since being our neighbors and education coworker in Rockingham,N.C.We are deeply sorry to hear of their family lose.We never met "Miss Nink" but Neal shared many fond memories with us and we feel very close to this family and especially since we discovered that Neal and my brother-in-law went to school together in Asheville.What a coincidence and a joy!!! See you soon. Mot and Jay

I will always remember Nink from my earliest childhood at ErnestMa's house on Tribble Street.

I will remember her love and devotion to tend the graves at the Old Silver Brook Cemetary each year at the holidays,

I will remember her kindness and love when we lost Ernestma and her mother, my aunt Louise all in a span of four months. My father, Ernest had been so sick with recent heart disease in 1962 and could not to tend to these things and Nink and Dot did so...
