To my maggie. Just a few words to express how much you made a difference in my life. How every time I saw you, you put a big smile on my face and I will never forget how excited you always were to see me. The feelings were mutual. You taught me to love unconditionally, patience and most of all to smile. I can't wait to see you in heaven. Give the almighty father a big hug for me as well as my family.

My Maggie Wages. There are so many things to remeber you by that this little space can not hold them all. Your belief in God and your witness of God outshined us all most of the time. Your body was just a shell for God to express His eternal love. You will always be remembered with love and wonderful memories, but the best place ever to be is where you are, in Heaven with Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. "Pop it out", "spank your butt", "lets dance", "catholic nun", "El Vira", just a few favorites until we meet again in that wonderful place of God.

*HEAVEN* ! !

Dearest Maggie,



All to often we overlook the blessings in our life. You truly were a blessing to me and I will never forget the lessons you taught. Compassion, love unconditional, and the pleasure of laughter are just a few things you showed me. To me you were so much more than an aunt. At times a rival and others a friend. I love you Maggie and I will never forget your smiling face, open arms, and wet kisses. Love always, your Keebler
