Tribute to Margo Houston.
This lady was committed to helping others. She was faithful and true in all of her work with those who needed housing and those with mental challenges. I will miss her smile and her outlook on life. She always had a kind word to say and she made anyone/everyone near her feel better for spending the time. Margo, I celebrate your life. I know that leaving us here, when there was so much work to do, wasn't in your plans but God chose to bring you home. I know you will be advocating for someone up in heaven and they'll love you just the way we do. To the family, be blessed you are in my prayers. Vici

poem
LIFE GOES ON:
The rain will fall the snow will sparkle,
the tree's will blow and the birds will sing, children will dance flowers will grow,
music will ring and tears will flow,
ice will melt and memories felt.
Yesterday i was there, today i am not.
The angels called upon me and led me far away.
Tears will fall, hearts will break.
but i am still there in your heart.
I can still be felt.
close your eyes can you see me standing there? remember life goes on.
one day we will meet but until then enjoy what you have got.
If you ever need me just close your eyes and i will be there,
open your eyes and i will be gone,
now live your life and move on.
Remember i am only sleeping.
i will never be too far.
i will be that star shining down on you,
can you see it?
tonight i say goodbye,
tonight i shed my last tear,
i have to leave the angels are near.
Fall with the rain,
sparkle with the snow,
blow with the tree's
and sing with the birds,
dance with the children
and ring with the music,
enjoy yourself and be happy,
smile and cry sing and dance,
laugh and be sad.
share moments and express feelings.
stengthen and weaken.
love and smile.
you are still young, your life is yours.
forever will i miss you.
but now I've been laid to rest.
the angel came i got my wings.
i can fly, and i can sore
i can reach where I've never been before.

close your eyes see I'm still standing there.

To Margo Family,
A golden heart stopped beating
A beautiful smile at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best
There will be an empty chair at the Toledo alumni group, where Margo was the secretary and help us organize. Her memories will be with us forever. Her shoes will be hard to fill.

I first met Margo in the Diabetes chat room. She would always make it a point to sing Happy Birthday to me every New Years Eve. She was such a kick to have in the room and her presence is greatly missed. She always had something positive to say even when she wasn't feeling too positive herself. She was such a joy to be around and always tried to laugh and look at the brighter things in life. She had truly earned her wings before she even knew she had them and was an angel in her own right. Bless the Houston family at this time and please know that she always had something good to share with us in the room about her family. I will miss you Ms. Cutie. Fly with the angels and teach them how to do it right.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

A wonderful person left this world, I met her in diabetes chat 1. It was a blessing to hear her loving voice, my prayers for those she left behind, she loved you all greatly. I will miss her too, she helped me with kind words when I lost my father and I am certain she has met him and they are dancing with their new bodies.

Always cheerful, upbeat and positive. A delight to call friend. She will be missed greatly. Her family was the light of her life and her joy in them reflected through her actions to others. May god place the peace of knowledge on her family soul and a healing balm to their hearts in knowing how special they are to her.
