My condolences to the Biswurm family. In my 24 years as pharmacist for Rite Aid on the corner of EAST ERA and Oak St I met many good people, people I considered friends. Mrs Biswurm was one of those people right on the top of my list. She was one of the sweetest people I've ever known. Always a kind word, always asked me how I was doing and of course her church involvement. I left Ridgewood in '98 but I took alot of memories and Margaret was one of them..

In my memory, this woman was one of the few people in my childhood to unconditionally love me. Opening her heart and home to a little girl during a difficult time, she took me under her wing and gave me safe shelter, comfort, security and a sense of normalcy. Throughout my life she has provided a covering of intercession, embracing me with her unconditional love and acceptance. Over the years she has given counsel, advice and reassurance with tangible reminders of her influence and value to my life. Like the sun coming up in the morning, a birthday, anniversary, holiday or thinking of you card would wing its way to me, “with much love from your Aunt Margaret”; a small colorful insert “Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there!” Cast your cares upon the Lord and he will sustain you” or “Wishing you a bright and beautiful day filled with God's blessings” enclosed. Thank you, my Aunt Margaret for your love which still reaches across time to touch me deeply. The memories of all the ways you influenced my life enrich, enfold and envelope me and I am deeply grateful.

My sincere condolences to each of you. My mother had such wonderful memories and such rich stories of Aunt Margaret and Uncle Warren. Although I didn't have as many, I do remember that Aunt Margaret was sincere and genuine and always welcomed us with open arms. She has left an incredible legacy in each of you. God bless you all.
