Oh my, our street just became a little darker without Miss Margaret's sweet and radiant smile. After being neighbors for 27 years it won't be the same without her. Rest in peace little lady.

I will miss Aunt Margaret. She always had a clear head about her and was very much the lady. She was so much fun to be around too. I know that Ricky,Mama and Bigmama were there to greet her when she passed over. They had a large family reunion. Can you imagine all the members of her family that had been waiting for her? It will be difficult to be without Aunt Margaret but she is in a better place. I am sorry that I can't be there celebrate her life but I am there in spirit. I love you all.
