To my family, We are truly in mourning, as another one of our family members has left us. Who knew she would follow cousin Jeanette so closely. However, we know to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord. Thank God for our Christian backround, because even though we will miss her dearly, we know she's in a better place. Personally, I know my mother(Martha Rhodes) will miss seeing her during their shopping bouts in Belks as well as at the family and church gatherings. Take your rest cousin Margaret Servant well done! I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral, but rest assure I'm with my family in spirit.

Margaret became my friend many years ago as we walked Colonial Lake together in the early morning hours. I saw her Tuesday morning when she brought me a little surprise to share with my visiting family. She knew that I did not see my mother and sister very often and wanted to give us a treat. That is how Margaret was. I cannot begin to express my sorrow in the loss of this great woman. She warmed my heart daily and will truly be missed. There were many tears at Colonial Lake as people realized that this was our Margaret.
