You and Family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely , BETTY ASHE, Ledfords Chapel UMC
This beautiful lady held a warm spot in our lives and the lives of our children. She was their ‘Grandma D’ and still to this day many years later, they recall memories of her being their special ‘Grandma D.’ Even though miles and years seperated us, we still were connected by the heart.
We were saddened to hear of her death. May God continue to grant you the peace that passes all understanding, especially now!
God bless you.
Much love,
The Bulow Carver family
Jessie and I were sad to learn about Mrs. Durrant’s passing.
Please know that the family is in our thoughts and prayers.
May all of you find strength and peace through God’s love in times like these.
John 14:27-‘Peace is my farewell gift to you, my peace is my gift to you.
God bless you all.

We will miss Margaret’s wit and fun spirit and of course we remember all the goodies she would make for everybody. Especially we remember her pet name for our youngest son, Johnathan which was ‘chocolate face’ because he loved her chocolate goodies. She was a sweet, special person. Our love and prayers go out for you during your time or sorrow. Love, The Cooke family
