Debbie,Vickie and Steve – I lost my mother 3 years ago so I realize what you all are going through. I will truly miss Margaret as we joked around with each other every day as I was helping her close out cash. If I did something strange that she usually does, I told her she was teaching me well and then we both would laugh. All of the customers who knew Margaret are extending to us at the cafeteria their condolences and sympathy to the family. May God Bless each of you and you go through the grieving of losing your mother and to the grandchildren their grandmother. If we can do anything for you and the family please let me know personally or someone at the cafeteria.
You are in our thoughts and prayers, always.

Many early morning meals at J&S ended with a smile and a farewell greeting from Miss Margarette. I am grateful for her cheerfulness, especially during the times of her health challenges. Margarette and her sweet goodwill will be missed by me and our men’s group.
Vicki,
I remember visiting you all in the summers growing up. What I remember most about your mom was when we would go into the field and play with your pony she would fuss at us for getting ‘to close to that edge’ of the cliff. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family,
Dear Family, Seems like it was a visit to J.&S to see Peggy. She always had a smile and to me, she never ever quit. She continued to work and loved what she did. She will definitely be missed. Sandy
We are sorry to hear about Margaret’s passing away. We did not know about her being so sick.God Bless all of you.
