Jim and family. So sorry for your loss. Margaret was a kind loving person who never met a stranger. The angels will welcome her with open arms.
My prayers are with you and your family Andy. Sorry to hear I have fond memories of your mom and our days at Trinity. May God’s comfort be very real to you and all your family during this time.
Jim, Jim, Mark, and Andy, I am so sorry for your loss. Marge was a wonderful person and an even better cook. Whether at the bowling alley, or at your home, she always made me feel like I was one of the family. I love you guys and your mom very much. Hugs and continued prayers for your family.
My prayers for your comfort. Celebrate her life as she celebrated all of those she taught. She was my brother’s kindergarten teacher in 1973, and left an impact on many students over the years. We were all blessed to know her. Praises to our Lord for blessing us with someone who was so good with children, and as He welcomes her to her forever home.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. She was and still will be an amazing woman. She was so loving and kind to me. She will always be special to me as you all are.
Jim, It was good to see and talk with you and son Jim at the fair. We know God has a special plan for your life. You are blessed with family and we pray God will give you peace and his unfailing love in the time to follow. Thank God, He is always there for us. He is our stability and Savior.
