Our sincere condolences to all of your family. Your mother was exactly what a Mother should be. She loved all her family and she loved God! You should be proud to have had such a Mother. We will pray that you all can rest easy, knowing that she is now with your Dad, and they are both with the Lord! Love and prayers to you all!
So sorry for your loss! I can so remember your mother calling you kids home from the ball field at Venable Elementary School.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I pray the Holy Spirit of God embraces you dear family a brings you all comfort in the name of Jesus Christ. Anen
Love,

So sorry for the loss of this great lady…Margaret truly blessed so many in our church family and beyond, including us. The Bridges are praying God’s tender mercies to be known by the Farmers and by family and friends who knew and loved her so well.
Lynn and family, So sorry. Praying for you all.
Much love…

She was special. We loved her. She will be missed by many I’m sure. Knowing The Truth is comforting when someone passes now. Hope to see her and mom soon here in PARADISE when the kingdom comes to pass. Psalms 37:9,10,11,29. John 5:28
We were very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. You and the family are in our warmest thoughts as you reflect on your mother’s life.
