Bob, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a wonderful person. All of your friends who were fortunate to meet her remember her affectionately.
She was so kind, gracious, and loving to us all.

I worked with Margaret when she was the receptionist at Hanes Knitwear. She could remember everyone´s name and always had a smile on her face. A real asset to the company! Heaven gained another angel.

What a special person Margaret was. I always looked forward to seeing her at church on Sundays. During her work experience at Hanes, she met my mother and daddy and told me stories about Hanes. She will be missed. Love you Margaret.
