I thank the Lord that Aunt Margaret’s suffering is over and she is at peace now. I have always admired her greatly for the strong, independent woman she was. Who could forget how she made us all laugh at those awful movies she made us watch…backwards and forward, over and over! She documented the family in all her pictures and I thank her for that. She will be greatly missed but not forgotten.
