She would do anything to help someone in need. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Sent by: Tameka Sanders03-02-2010 Margaret was a wonderful lady. When I was still very new here, she would strike up conversation in the elevator with me. I know she barely knew who I was or anything about me, but that didn't matter. She had a naturally friendly spirit and I believe she was the kind of person who treated everyone she encountered like she had known them for 20 years. Heaven's gain, our loss, temporarily. Her passing once again reminds us that we are all homeward bound. This present world is not our permanent place, and we look forward to that great family reunion with Margaret and all of God's children, never to be parted again. May the deep comfort of God be upon Margaret's family and friends until then.
