michael and mary,
i loved maggie very much. she has been an inspiration, dear friend and pure joy to me for over 40 years. when we laughed and talked, i felt our age difference melt away. we were just two friends enjoying a cup of tea and each other's company....we shared a lifetime of joys and sorrows. maggie's understanding of human nature was remarkable as was her deep belief in being thankful for every blessing she received. i will miss her and cherish the memories we created together. who would have imagined that when we met, all those years ago, our special bond would last from this lifetime into the next.....
with love for maggie and sincere sympathy to you and family,
lynnie

I was so sorry to hear of Maggie's passing. We met Maggie and her friend MaryLou at church years ago before my daughter was born and always enjoyed chatting with them before and after mass. How Maggie enjoyed seeing my daughter each mass and watching as she grew up into "quite the little lady" as she always told us.
She truly was "one of a kind" and just the sweetest person we've ever met....always with a smile... a laugh...a joke.... always so cheerful no matter how she felt physically....
we will miss her always...a shining light has been extinguished from this earth but has gone on to light up heaven.
We were also sorry to hear her brother from New York had passed...he was a kind gentle soul we much enjoyed meeting and talking to...like sister...like brother... :)
Peace be with you Maggie dear....you have touched our hearts forever..

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dear love one. During this time of great sadness, I hope that the family find comfort from James 4:8. It says, "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you." Along with family and friends, may you'll also look to God for comfort during this difficult time.
