I am very saddened at my Aunt Margaret's death. When I remember her I shall always think of the gracious southern lady she was. Always with a smile on her face. Always immaculately dressed and always calling me Nancy.

We were so sad to receive Jerry's phone call that your beautiful mother had passed away; however, rejoice she is in the arms of Jesus and with Charles. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the out and always such a lady. She was very special to everyone who knew her. Praying for all of you as you go through the week and months to come. Love, Wayne & Cindy
