  11. Margaret; (Strength, Perseverance & Faithfulness) such a beautiful lady gifted and talented in so many ways – she touched the lives of so many. We always knew Margaret was there for us – her door always open. Such an inspiring lady; earning a social work degree at an older age than most, then going on to learn Massage & Natural Medicine-helping so many. She also had the biggest heart for overseas missions with her visits personally to Africa & Rumania, always giving out. She was so loved. We will never forget you Margaret. Our hearts go out to all your family.
