Marguerite Priscilla Christian

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Mrs. Christian was a very graceful woman. I remember her coming into the class room quietly and gracefully when I attended elementary school listening and taking notes.

To the Christian/Friend Family,
To have known Ms.Marguerite since childhood was to love her. Her work in the church and community has left a deep and lasting impression in all of our lives.
May you find comfort in her memory and know that God has given his faithful servant well deserved rest from labor.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

One of my earliest memories is of Mrs. Christian sitting talking with my mother, Ernestine Wyche Gregory, in the kitchen of our home on Curtis Street in Chester. It was in that same kitchen where some number of years later she sat with me and my brother, Arthur and ministered to us in an effort to help us deal with the fact that God had taken our mother home to be with Him. When Fred and I got ready to get married, she was one of the first persons from First Baptist Centralia to call to ask...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
