Dear Cousins (Marlene, Maxine, Carl, Joy, Kelly & Beth),
What a privilege to have had Margaret as my Aunt. The first word that comes to my mind is hardworking. If I'm not mistaken she had a fulltime job for many years of her life, possibly to age 80?! I only have 3 children and have had mostly part time jobs so her strength and stamina were very inspiring. She was very loyal to her family and enjoyed letting me know how everyone was doing, where everyone was and the latest stats on the grandchildren. Another word that characterized her was perseverance and maybe even trendsetter! Mere words can't describe who she really was but what a blessing to have an Aunt Margaret and I pray you all will know God's arms of love around you as you go through
these "daze".
With love and prayers,
Your cousin
Waneta & Family
