Uncle Rodney and Family,

God has many ways of reminding us that the beautiful spirits who have touched our lives soar higher and farther than we would ever imagine, all the way to perfect peace and freedom with him.
We hold very many precious memories, like the numerous stars in the sky, too many to count and we will hold these dear to our hearts always. Aunt Margaret was a special person and a special aunt to each of us in her own way.
Our thoughts and prayers have been with you all for a while and we will continue to have them as these days go on. We love you all, each and every one, and God will keep you all in his care too.
Larry Jr. and Nancy

Aunt Margaret always had a smile and a loving word when I saw her. It was a blessing to know her and have her in my corner. She never let you leave without a hug and kiss. You will be missed, but you are now pain free and reunited with your brother. I know I will see you again someday and get greeted with that smile and big hug! We love you and are so sorry we can't be there to be with the family.

Rodney and the family,
I was very saddened when I saw the obituary in the Face Book just now> Margaret was a dear long time friend all my life. I knew her through Helen Maddox. My mother was from Gable, SC in Clarendon County near Sumter.
Margaret was a very sweet and fine Christian and always had a smile for everyone. She was also a helper whenever needed. I loved her laugh.
My husband joins me in sending Rodney and the family our love, caring thoughts, deep sympathy, and prayers.
