Oh Marg-how much I will miss seeing you at family get togethers. Your smile was so infectious and your laugh I will never forget. You have always been so special to our family and you will be missed so greatly. We all look forward to seeing you again sometime. I pray that you and Wayne have been reunited for no one loved each other like the two of you!

Aunt Marg, "you" were the best. If only you knew how many times I wanted to call you in the last months. We may have had a long distance relationship from me moving to Texas and you living in Indiana to Florida & back to Indiana but our love for each other never stopped.
Your funny jokes to your serious personilty & the love and kindness you shared with all will always be remembered. Lots of love*
Until we meet in Heaven
P.S.Your last joke: The little red rooster said to the little red hen "haven't had some since lord knows when, so ruffle your feathers and spread you tail because I'm about to get some even if I go to jail!

Aunt Marg,
I love you so much! I am going to miss you! I love seeing you smile, I love all your jokes, I love spending time with you, I love how whenever I felt like crying you knew just what to say so that I would smile instead! I love how many memories we had. We did and always will have many great memories, I love going to visit with you, I love how when we were riding in the car with Mamaw Sarah you would say something so random and wether it was funny or not I would laugh just to make your day! I hated seeing you in the nursing home, it was horrible for you there! I am sorry I didn''t come see you as much as I should have! I love you so much and I will being thinking of you everyday no matter what I''m doing, If I have a tough decision to make I would always wonder what you would want me to do! I love you with all my heart forever and always.
ALL MY LOVE- FOREVER AND ALWAYS,
Emma xoxo

Marg you have been a blessing to me. Thank you so much for always making me feel like a part of the family. Thank you for always being so great to Josh and Jeremy. Josh and Jeremy loved spending time with you. I am so glad that you got to watch the boys grow up to be men. Wayne loved watching the boys ride their bicycles when they were little boys. We all love and miss you!
Love always, Cindy Allen (Josh and Jeremy Crafton's Mom)

Margo,

Steve and I miss you so. No one knows. We will always remember our supper chats, our morning smiles, the "I love you", and the wisdom you shared with us.

I'm sure Wayne, Sherry, Mackie, Lavron, Barb, everyone, was there with smiles and open arms to welcome you to Heaven. God had your mansion all ready for you.

We love you, always and forever.

Love and prayers go out to Aunt Margaret's family and friends. Wish we could be there in person to express our feelings for her. Unfortunately, Lee (or Butch as many would know him) was admitted to the hospital this morning with COPD complications. Aunt Marg will be missed so much by so many. Reunions will never be the same without her smile, her laugh and joking with everyone.

Margie thank you for the last 2 1/2 years of getting to know you. I thank you for loving me enough to give me up for adoption at 6 mos. I think God knows how special you are and that is why he gave us this time for you to have a closure to your life. I have now got a new family of many. I wish we could of spent more time getting to know each other,but God had other ideas. When you said that when you handed me to my mom you made her the happiest person in the world, but you were the saddest women in the world. I thank Pat and Gerald for our reuniting and for all the family that has accepted me with open arms. until we meet again in heaven. your debbie.

You were the last to go from a large family and we are thankful to have you for as long as we did. We weren't ready for you to go but that's being selfish on our part. We're sad of your leaving us but rejoice of the family reunion going on righ now. You know heaven will never be the same now that all the Crafton family is together. You were the glue that kept us close. You were the hub, the center of attraction at our family reunions with your great sense of humor and silliness. The thoughts of you always made me feel closer to home for when I came for a visit you opened up your home for me and even shared your car so I could visit others. You were a gift to my life that I will always treasure. Generosity is a sign of a great soul. Aunt Marg you were surely one. You often said I'd rather give then receive. You gave until you could give no more of every thing you had including yourself. As kids growing up it was always a thrill to go to Aunt Marg's and Uncle Wayne's and then after we were grown it was still a thrill to go to Aunt Marg's and Uncle Wayne's. The meals you shared were always out of this world. I think of your beef and noodles. Mac and cheese, peach cobber just to name a few. Lisa remembers the ham salad and Lemon Delight you always made special for her. Then of course we can't forget about the card games that always followed. I will also miss our phone chats and hearing you always say in closing YOU MADE MY DAY. Well dear auntie, you mad our days by being an example to all of us. You've always been there for all of us and I am so sorry I couldn't be here today for you. You will live on in my heart. "I thank my God upon every remembramce of you. " Philippians 1:3 YOU"VE MADE MY DAY...

Aunt Marg, We will always miss you. You were always a special part of our family.
Things won't be the same when I come to Indiana and your not there to share the mushrooms with.
We won't beable to call ya Christmas morning and sing "we wish you a Merry Christmas" on speaker phone.
I won't hear any of your funny stories or jokes.
I won't eat any of your good food. ( you were such a good cook).
We won't beable to go around and decorate the graves.
I won't beable to call and talk to ya.
I won't beable to TRY to April Fool you any more.
But we will always have our memories of all the good times.
AND we will always love & miss ya!
love, Kenny,Diane,Tray,Kyle,Keith & Lacy* God Bless

Aunt Marg - When I think of you there are 3 words that you see together so much anymore - live, love ,laugh - I think these really describe you and all the joy you added to our lives. We love you and miss you. I wish we had lived closer these past years so we could have spent more time with you. Thank you for all the wonderful ham salad sandwiches you always made for me and the lemon delights when we were visiting back home! Thank you for all the jokes and laughter we all shared together. We'll look forward to seeing you one day again in Heaven with the rest of the family. You will live forever in our hearts and memories. All our love, Lisa Kay and Charlie
