Margaret “Maw Maw “as she was known by to so many, was a person, that to know her was to love her. She was the very best Maw Maw to her grandchildren, leaving behind so many great memories for them to cherish. Margaret was a woman of great Christian faith and love for Jesus. A woman who lived her faith out every day and led by example. She loved her family fiercely, always there waiting with open arms and advice. If she could tell people one last thing, it would be to give their hearts and life to Jesus and never turn back.

I’ll always love and appreciate everything that you’ve done for me,my 2 kids and my precious grandsons. I’ll always cherish our precious memories and you’ll always be my mother. You’re the best that could of ever have me 34 years ago. I truly miss our time together. Never one time that I’ve needed you that you were not here for me that you were not here. I can go on forever about my precious best friend but I’ll go for now till we meet in Heaven. I love you so much mother.
I will miss her, Mom and Daddio will miss her too. She was a loving Christian woman. Everybody that knew her will have a void in their heart. But God gave us a built in video of memories, we can always go to our heart and watch our memories. Heaven surely gained an angel. We will miss you and love you always.

She loved her family with all her heart and soul … Although I haven’t seen her in a while I know that she was a daughter of the king of lord and although she will be missed tremendously, she’s in Heaven right now- living in that awesome eternity we can only imagine ! I love you Sis Margaret !
