Uncle Jewell and family,
I am sorry to read that Aunt Margret has passed away. I just found out on Friday night March 11. I adored her and will miss her. She was my favorite Democrat, lol.

Jewell, Paul, Cindy, Connie, Randy & Gail
I am so sorry to hear about Margaret. She was a fun, great lady. We worked together at Wards, but I also knew her from church.
She always so nice to me and my family. She will be missed by lots of people who knew her.
I am sorry I can't come Monday, but my heart is with you all.
My prayers go out to all of you.
