Thank you for all of your letters, your condolences and for sharing your memories of my mother Margo.

Not only was mom a loving mom but she was a loving Grandma, Aunt,(Aunt Mom) sister,etc.and was loved by all her family and friends. Mom's home was always open to anyone, any time and you always felt welcome. No matter what the situation was, mom always came up with whatever was needed to help if she was asked.

Mom's greatest pleasure was giving gifts for any occasion, she had a child like sweetness when it came to this; which meant her extra room was full of presents waiting for their new owners.

My mother believed the Bible and what it says about the greatest gift of all......... the "Gift of the Cross" as payment for her sins. She accepted this gift & denied her own works for her salvation. Mom is now Eternally with God.....Paul says in the Bible, that when absent from the body you are present with the Lord God. I am sure that this is where she is now.

I will forever miss my Mom and I ask God to hug her for all of us and I look forward to being with her, my father and other loved ones someday.

God bless all of you and your loved ones.

Aunt Margo was a hoot ... She and all her sisters loved each other so much, and it was sooooo much fun when each and every holiday rolled around and we all got together at Grandma Taylor's house.. I all most feel sorry for the younger generations .... Can they ever know how wonderful this family is ? Can they ever know how much fun it was to be in this family, to have these amazing women as our Aunts, to gather with them and the Uncles and cousins for all kinds of events....What an amazing family!
Amazing Aunt Margo...Oh how she is loved ... Aunt Margo has graduated from this life now, on to the next with Grandma, Grandpa and all her brothers and sisters.... what a reunion she is having there, it will really only be minutes before we all meet Aunt Margo again, and the rest of the clan ... I'm just Glad I was born into this family line ...

Don't think of her as gone away: her journey's just begun. Life holds facets:this earth is only one!
Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years. Just think how she must be wishing that we could know today that nothing but our sadness can really pass away!
Just think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched,for nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much.

To know her was to love her to love her was a monther and wife to the children she brought forth in this life, and the husband she held dear through so many year's. Do not frought for she will not be forgotten for she was a sister to a brother, and a sister to a sister, her spirit is set free, and she will watch over her children and her husband now, she new so well how to love and take care of her family so that when it was her turn to move on from this plane her children took care of her with equal and moral value's, loved by all with caring thougt's of laughter and spirit's thought
