There are people who come across your path in life that leave the softest of impressions without ever knowing. Margaret was one of those people. A stranger came into her home and she was treated with kindness, southern hospitality, and warm acceptance. She made this stranger feel "part of the family". You know the kind that makes you feel you can help yourself to anything in the frig and talks to you as though they've always known you. I was that stranger. It's been 7 years since that visit and it has remained and will remain a fond memory. Thank you Margaret. The Lord has freed you from the trials of this life to be with him in the next.
