Our thoughts are with all of you, especially Pat and Marlene and the family. Margaret (Granny) was the kindest, most non-judgmental person I have ever known. She always had kind words and a smile and offered advice that was given in love. We love Granny and have very fond memories of her. Heaven has a new angel.
I will miss Margaret so much...what a beautiful lady - inside and out! I will miss her smiling face and miss seeing both Pat and Marlene on my visits to MT. Prayers for comfort for this beautiful family. Margaret loved well and was well-loved.
My thoughts go out to Pat, Marlene and the rest of the family. Margaret was truly an inspiration to us all. Her smile would light up any room. Her kindness, words of wisdom and stories will never be forgotten. She is a very special lady and I am so honored to have known her these past three years. She will truly be missed. Sending you all hugs and prayers to all of you during this time.
