Margarita Gaitan Strong

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Family of Margaret Gaitan Strong: I went to school with Margaret and am so sorry for your loss. Missed her at the reunion this year.I was blessed to know her. Your so luck that she was in your lives.

What a wonderful legacy she has left to our family. She was loved and admired and will be dearly missed.

Margaret was an incredible woman who inspired so many! She had an amazing servant's heart and always was concerned about others over herself. She has touched the lives of many foster children and loved them as if they were her own and spoke about how important they were to her. She is so incredibly missed and will never be forgotten.

With sincere sympathy to John and family. John and Margaret are two of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Margaret was an inspiration and greatly admired by myself and all staff and foster parents. The lives of many children will forever be blessed because of their time with Maragret and John. God Bless, rest in peace my friend.

My deepest sympathies to the Strong family. I will miss seeing Miss Margaret and her smiling friendly face. Having taught some of her foster children, I know she was a true blessing in their tiny lives. She will not be forgotten by so very many people.

I first met Margaret about 20 years ago in my role as a Social Worker with the Health Department- she had a foster child who had a lot of medical problems and my role was to help her however I could- I fell in love with her on my first visit- she was so open, so loving with the children and a delight to talk to. I was so pleased when, probably about 10 years later, I got a referral on another child in her home- it felt like going to visit an old friend. I am so sorry to hear of her death, but...

I work at the foster care agency John and Margaret have been with for the last few years. Margaret was known as a spunky, sweet lady whom everyone adored. A few of us attended the service this morning, and it was wonderful to see all the lives Margaret had touched. She will be greatly missed by our staff and all the little lives who were blessed by having her as a foster mom.

God bless this women whose heart was much bigger than she. I saw her "wrassel" and even then you knew she was a good ethical women. Her love of children was beyond most folks and she made a difference in their world as well as ours. God bless her and her family.
