Dear Violet,

My goodness I didn't know Margaret was that old, she was such a sweet person, I always loved talking to her. I really missed all of you when I left the church. Now I'm in Ky. I didn't know if you knew Steve passed away in 2005. But you know they are both with the Lord and that makes it easier. If anyone has a computer email me at trixierose@windstream.net. would love to hear how you are doing.

Always in my prayers, God bless
Janet Franklin

Violet,
My condolences to you and your family for your loss. I thought the world of Margaret. She was a very special lady and i loved her. It was a pleasure and honor that i had the chance to work with her in Physical Therapy when she was at Ashford Place. She surely tried her best and we enjoyed working together.
May God be with you at this time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear about Margaret. She was a sweet lady that I know will be missed. She has been a great influence for me when I first became a Christian. My thoughts and prayers for Violet and the family extend through the coming months and years. God bless you and sorry I missed the funeral.
