Dear Uncle Dean and family,
Our family is sorry to hear about Aunt Margaret passing away. She was a wonderful woman of God and her Christ-like example was and continues to be an inspiration for all of us. She was soft spoken woman with a great strong character that always reflected the love of Christ. Her faith was resilient and her dedication to the Lord and her family was exemplary.
We will miss Aunt Margaret and her beautiful smile and encouraging words. We know that she is in heaven now rejoicing with her Savior but we still feel the loss of our favorite aunt who meant so much to us all.
We pray the Lord will strengthen and comfort you and the family during this difficult time.
All our love and prayers,
Vince, Lois, Jessica and Vanessa

I know the folks were glad to see them and I could see the love she had for her sister! Precious memories! Now she is with Mom and Dad praising our Lord. Keeping you in prayer.

Dear Dean and family, How sad I am to hear of Margaret's death. She was a wonderful aunt to me. I remember sitting beside her at the Urbandale Open Bible church in the 1940's and 1950's, with my mother every week. She was always so beautiful. She was always encouraging and had a wonderful laugh. She was one of the first people I alsways wanted to see when we go back to Iowa. I pray that your family will find peace knowing that Margaret is in Heaven with a brand new body, worshiping God and reunited with many family members who have gone on before her.
