So sorry for your loss. What a good long life Margaret enjoyed. So many cannot say the same. She was one of those the Bible call especially strong. Ps. 90:10

Rest in Peace Margaret, my dear friend. You will be missed greatly. I enjoyed all the time we spent working together for 6 years at Walmart for American Greetings. We spent alot of time together. She was like a mother to me since my mother had passed away years earlier. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
