Dear PaPa Thornton and family,
Just a few lines to let you know that I am thinking about you and your family. I know in my heart that Mama Margaret is in heaven with Jesus and our father "God". She no longer is hurting and feeling afraid of what life will bring. She is with all of her loved ones that has gone before her and now she is preparing a place for the rest of her loved ones that will be coming after her. She was very special to me and each and every one of you are special to me. So just remember that I have each of you in my prayers and thoughts and I send you all my love through Jesus Christ our saviour. Papa remember she will be waiting for you when Jesus comes to take you home.
Love always,
Marilynn
