The GREATEST WOMAN to ever live. My heart is broken and my soul feels lost. How do I express who you were in a message. You were the most AMAZING woman I’ve ever known. Your sweet “bless your heart” attitude that kept some wondering to smile or run; Your ability to make everyone feel “WELCOME” (and fed); Who’s door was always OPEN (literally wide open and unlocked in the middle.of the night in summer) who’s bright red hair (and ways promping) and gold bracelets dangled, without a sign of arrogance. CONFIDENCE protruded from you, you always made others feel so WORTHY!!! Your way of NEVER saying goodbye at the end of a call (leave people hanging with Uh huh) ALL these memories I cannot express but OUR LOVE MY DEAR MOMOM is what is ALWAYS LEFT!!! I will spend every day TRYING MY BEST to be half the woman, momom, you were. Until we meet again, I LOVE YOU

I met Margie when she was spending time with Bob and Hattie. She was a loving mother and friend to everyone. Enjoyed the time we visited. I believe she is in that beautiful city which the Bible tells us that has streets of pure Gold. We shell meet again someday. May all of her family find Comfort in knowing she is at peace. And may God bless everyone. Betty and Bob Thompson

The love she shares will always be a part of so many she loved and left behind. Nanny You are LOVED and always will be missed and admired for your great strength and courage and the true love you showed to so many.
