  1. A gracious Lady whose welcoming smile at the coffee bar just made your day. She was a typical example of what a member of our church should be.

  2. Margie was my dear sister in Christ and forever friend. We were saved about the same time and loved to talk about the Lord and share our stories, laugh and pray together. I wish I could have said good bye but know I will see her again when I join her in Heaven. Jesus is the way, the truth and the LIFE forever and ever. Amen!
