Dear Family and Friends;
Our Love has gone home to her heavenly reward to be with our Maker, we have given her to Him. The pain that we feel as family, may at times feel unbearable, but our constant reminder is that when Margaret, Mom, Grandma, slipped from her earthly tent, her reward is the greatest joy that she will ever have. I thank God every day for the blessings I have had from Him in granting us 30 beautiful years together as husband and wife, and for granting us a wonderful love together. We also give thanks to Him in our 5 healthy children, and 3 wonderful spouse children, and for 2 ½ grandchildren. Our lives will be the better for knowing her, and for being a part of her life, we will never forget her.
Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers for Margaret and family, Margaret will not need your prayers anymore, but we do, so please pray for us to get over this void that has come into our life.
Again, thanks to everyone, now this Blog has come to an end.
Bless you all for caring.
Jack and Family.

Jack, family,and especially our "daughter of the heart" Jenn...words are so difficult..yet as I grieve for you all, these words were impressed upon my heart,for grieve not like the world,your Mom has received her crown, and may GOD our FATHER wrap you in love and give you peace.
We pray this song for you:
When peace like a river, attendeth my way;
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...
He lives--oh, the bliss of this glorious thought;
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, Oh my soul.
It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...
And, Lord, haste the day when our faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trumpet shall sound, and the Lord shall descend;
Even so, it is well with my soul...
It is well...with my soul... It is well, it is well, with my soul...
Saying good bye to a loved one is no easy task, but with the strength from the Lord we do it. Our condolances to you all, know we are praying for you all. She is with Sophia, and Gods other chosen ones who have run the race, and won. She is living the LIFE that we long to live. This does not take the pain away, but it does help us to go on, live one day at a time, and remember you will be reunited again. She is not gone she lives on with our Heaveny Father, just amagine....
We are praying that God gives you strength as you deal with your loss.

I feel your pain. I lost my own mother in the same way 13 years ago, although was taken up at the moment of the aneurism rupture. I know that the grieving process takes time, but the Lord promises his nearness. My prayer is that you will feel this nearness at all times.
