Margaret was a wonderful neighbor. We studied the book of Mark together in the Bible study. I feel sure she is with the Lord now. Her neighbors and I are sad to see her gone.
Jay and family,
We were so sorry to hear about Margaret.
She was my best friend in high school and the Maid of Honor at our wedding.
We were planning on coming to her funeral today but had to be in Ft Smith with our son
who is in the hospital.
Praying the Lord gives your family comfort and peace in the days, weeks and months to come.
