Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. "Grammy" was always so sweet and a pleasure to see when she came up to Shohola. Our "prayer buddy" lol, that was the first thing Bruce said when I told him. She is smiling in Heaven Im sure!

Sue, Your mom told me one time to "let your voice be heard," and now her joy in Heaven echoes the wisdom she so graciously cast on earth. I am so sorry for you and your family as I know you will all miss her dearly, and I know her gentle love will live on through all of you, and all those you touch!

May the wonderful matriarch of our family enjoy eternal rest! She would always tell us that she was "just fine," and now she truly is! We will miss you, Aunt Kiddie! Our sympathy to Susan and Paul and their families!

Our sympathies go out to the Oswald family, Susan, Paul and all the grandkids. What a great lady! Many fond memories of all the cousins getting together in Hempstead, Mineola and especially at the "bungalo" Out East for a fun family reunion. A wonderful family of giving, caring people who especially cared for our Grandparents as they got older. We will miss you Aunt "Kiddie" - may you rest in the peace you so richly deserve..
Love, Nephew Timmy

I met Margaret when she joined our quilt group at Christ The King Church in Oxford. She was such a sweet and gentle person whom I loved as a very special friend. Margaret was a great cook. She once baked a cake for one of our birthday parties and I told her how good it was, then the following week she baked another cake and told me to take it home for my family to enjoy. This was the kind of person she was, always so sweet to everyone.I know she was an angel on this earth and I will miss her very much. I send my deepest sympathy to her family. Ruth Ann Sheffield
