To the family of Ms. Margaret,
Our hearts where sadden when we received the news of her passing. It was just a few weeks ago we spoke while she was dropping my son off the bus, she always had time to share her smile, care and concern for me during my illness. We considered her a friend despite only knowing her for the past two years or so doing her job as the bus attendant. She was so special to my son and I, even taking the time to drop off his backpack one evening when it was left on the bus. She love the children and I don't think she ever met a person that was not a friend of someone she loved. God has a Angel in heaven and we shall see her again at her new address in heaven. Keep you faith in knowing she is at peace and that she will be sadly missed by some many people. Miss Margaret was a wonderful person, and my son and our family where so blessed to have know her for the time we did. God Bless...

We will all miss Margaret, but I don't think anyone enjoyed life more than she did. Without a doubt I know there was a grand reunion in heaven when she got there. She's now with the love of her life. If its anyway possible I know she, Clayton, and Daddy have their fishing poles in the water and laughing over old times. Clayton and Margaret were such a big part of our lives growing up. Praise the Lord for good friends. keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Connie

Margaret, my friend and neighbor for 26 years, things won't be the same around here without seeing you out working in your beautiful yard or coming down the lane from your busy trips or coming from work or some errand you had to run. I am so thankful for the talk that we had on Wednesday evening before you went to the hospital on Thursday. I know you were at peace and trusted our God to do his will. I promise you I will continue to help Jeanette and stay in touch with her and help her as much as she will allow.She's like you, she won't ask for help. I;m glad that we said our goodbyes and expressed our feelings to each other. Rest in peace dear friend. Shirley Smith
