Margret had such a great little twinkle in her eyes, and brought sunshine to all she touched.
She was my 6th grade teacher in Wheatland many years ago. She always was my favorite teacher and I had the opportunity to tell her that when I saw her recently. She was beautiful and gracious then– as she was when I last saw her. I am a better person for having known her. My sincere condolences to all of you. May God bless her memory.
Dear Susan: Please accept my sincerest sympathy of your great loss….but I do believe God smiled when He welcomed her home, and said “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”. She must have been a wonderful Mom who will be truly missed. God bless you all now and in the sorrowful days ahead.
