She will be greatly missed!
I knew you more as a teenager---and I was proud to call you my friend. We had a wonderful "gang" of friends that we grew up with. May you Rest in Peace.....
Margaret (Mom), I wish I had more time to spend with you! I will always cherish the last days I spent with you and was glad that we were able to be together again, since we lived several states apart for so many years. I will always admire your kindness, strength, determination, and selflessness. I always loved the quote, "If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever." Well, this is how I feel about you... I love and loved you so much, that I wished that love could have saved you... But, I had to unfortunately let you return to God.... I am glad that you are in good hands now and no longer suffering.... Thank you for being my mother!
Margaret, my mother-in-law, was a great woman. I would describe her as "meek but fierce". She wasn't one to want to draw attention to herself, but she had a quiet integrity that I admired. Before she came to live with us in her final months, she took care of her husband, Gene, despite dealing with medical issues of her own. She persevered, and fought, and though she often questioned herself, I hope now she knows the goodness that she showed when she was most tested. I got to know her in the time she stayed with us, and though at times it was trying, it was a joyous time as well, and a time that I will cherish forever. I see so much that my wife got from Margaret, see the tenacity and the strength. And for that I am thankful. God blessed me in having these last few months to get to know her before He called her Home. Love you Marg, may you rest in everlasting peace.
Remember when I lived with you your Sister Suzanne and your Mom my sister, Janet. Two of my special nieces. God bless you as we move on in this thing we call life that never ends.
Sorry for you loss. Margaret was a great person. She will missed.
