Jodi, Jolene, and Bruce, I am so sorry to hear of Ms. Ramey's passing. Jodi, I know from us growing up together, that she meant the world to you. She will watch over you and your family from heaven now. Jolene and Bruce, losing your dear mother must be heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this trying time. Ms. Ramey was like my second gandmother, she always had her door open to us kids whenever we needed a place to go. Especially during the summertime when we would all go to the pool and then over to her house to hang out. Jodi, remember the good times, it will help keep you strong.Love you all, Courtne

I could never express to you how much your mother has meant to me over the years. When I was younger and growing up at Rural Hall COG I looked to her as another grandmother in the church. I know that Margaret and my grandmother Inez Beck were really good friends and today they rejoice in Heaven together. That to me is a blessing to know and sooths my sorrowful soul.

I graduated with Margaret from Lowgap High School in 1948. She was one of the nicest and sweetest persons I've ever known and all her classmates thought the world of her. I looked forward to seeing her every year at our school reunion, and she was always there with her friendly smile until the last couple of years. Her husband, J.B., was also a good friend of mine as we grew up together on adjoining farms.

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."
Margaret was a trully wonderful person who loved the Lord so dear. I know God took her to hold her near.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Jodi, I love you and know that Grandma loved you too. You have always been there for her, and she knows you have.
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
Take care and may God Bless your heart with fond memories that will carry you through.
Love Always,
Janice

I love you all, and I love Sister Margaret just as if she was a member of my family.
Knowing her the way I do, I know her greatest desire is to see each one of you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and be with her in Heaven one day.
May God bless you and comfort you during this time.
Sincerely,
Drema Tilley

Sister Ramey, along with alot of our elderly Christian family at church has always been a shining example to what a true Christian really is. I have always admired her, and will dearly miss her, although I know one day soon, we shall be together around the throne in heaven, giving glory to our Lord and Saviour.

Hailey and I will miss Ms Margaret terribly. She was always there for us when we needed her most. She was the most loving and caring person, never thinking of herself. I don't know how I will get along without her next door. Jodi, she loved you so very much and always told me that Hailey and I would have the same relationship one day that you two shared. I pray she was right. I loved your grandmother for so many reasons I can't even begin to tell you all of them, but most of all for loving me. That I know she did! Her beautiful smile and sparkling eyes will be so missed. I do know that one day I will see her again and she will be watching from heaven to make sure Hailey and I are taken care of. If there is ever anything you need, you know where to find me at any time. I love you too!

I could never put into words how much your Mother meant to me. She has been a part of my life for somewhere around 40 years. As the three of you know I spent more time at your house than my own. Margaret was ALWAYS there for me and everyone else that she new. The friendship that I have in the three of you can never be replaced. As directions change in our lifes, you are always in my heart and thought about often. You are in my prayers and I'm always here for any of you. Margaret spent hours praying for God's hand to be on her family. The words and humbleness that she used in her prays were so heart touching. I'll continue to pray for her family as she looks down upon them from her new home.
