There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. My condolence to the family. May her life be a beacon in the lives of her family.A friend , a classmate and a distant cousinBrad Sly Guillory

I have only had the pleasure of being in Mrs Margret company a few times. Well enough times to get to know that she was special. She was so sweet and kind. Just down to earth, my kind of people. I'm so happy that my niece Cindy McGee Dunn had the opportunity to meet her. I also know that she has raised a beautiful family. Her daughters and son is the example that any mother would be proud to call her children. I pray that Mrs Dunn family knows that. She left nothing unDunn. She lived, she loved and she concoured. How Bless is that. Rest In Peace Mrs Margret♥

Margaret will always be remembered by me, a high school classmate, as a wonderful person who always wore a smile. She also was a good basketball player. So sorry to learn that she is gone. Probably sitting up in heaven smiling down on us!
