To the Repass Family,
I am so sorry to hear of this unfortunate loss to your family. I have fond memories of the many nights that Mrs. Repass welcomed me into her home and treated me like I was one of the family. It was clear that she was a wonderful mother,wife and a very loving person. I lost my father ten years ago, so I know how it feels to lose a family member, my heart aches for all of you during this difficult time. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers this week. I Love You All, Mark

So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my identical twin sister Evolyn Knight one year ago. You may not remember me, but Evolyn and I went to school with you and Margaret at Biltmore High. We graduated in the class of 1957.

Bill and family,
Words can never begin to express what is in our hearts at this time. Margaret was very dear to us and we will treasure her forever. May you all find peace in knowing that ‘our Margaret’ , wife, mother, sister and friend, is wrapped in the loving arms of God. Heaven has indeed gained a precious angel. We love you all.
Bless your heart, Bill. We can’t even begin to imagine what you are going through. We pray, pray, pray that God will give you comfort in the way that you need to find comfort. And thank you very much for your tremendous witness during Mrs. Margaret’s passing for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! The Bible says: ‘I, even I, am he that comforteth you.’ Isaiah 51:12a
Brother Bill,
May the Word of God comfort you in this time of trial and the home-going of our dear sister in Christ Jesus.
Psalms 119:49-50
Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
I wish to express my sympathy to the Repass family due to the Homegoing of Margaret. Even tho I had not seen Margaret in a long time I thought of her and her brothers and sisters often. We all sorta grew up together and I was in their Home many times and was made to feel like one of the family. Jeanette and I were special friends because we were about the same age but they all were wonderful people.I remember Mrs. Fowler and have many fond memories of the entire family. Please be assured that my thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Love to you all.
I am truly sorry for your loss. I knew Margaret as a young girl and all of her brothers & sisters and parents. Please accept my condolences.May God be with all of you in this time of your sorrow.
Bill & family,
