Margaret was a wonderful lady and I thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed the many opportunities we had to serve together at West Side. I especially remember those “greeter at the front door” days when we were in the Welcome Center. She was so gracious! Her commitment to Stephen Ministry was exceptional, also. Praying for comfort and peace to surround your family as you mourn her physical loss here on earth but rejoice in her heavenly reunion!

Jody & Wade,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Losing a parent is one of the hardest things in this life to go through. (My folks are both gone now.)
Be comforted that she is in a much better place now, and that her love for you and your family will live in your hearts forever.
God Bless you and comfort you.
