To Annette/Family, our hearts were deeply sadden to hear the passing of Sis Maggie. I shall forever cherish the memories of her sweet smile, contagious laugh and that look of, 'yea, I saw you, come right on over here.' A 'virtuous' and 'classy' young lady that I always admired, from her hair, to her feet, her nails, her diamonds and pearls, her welcoming personality, her encouraging words of wisdom and most of all the 'LOVE' and 'DEVOTION', she demonstrated for Jehovah God. I Love and will miss her, Dearly. On the behalf of the 'Mitchell" family, you are in our hearts, thoughts and sincere prayers not only during your sad hour of bereavement but always.
