On Wednesday morning, November 6th, Margie passed away peacefully in her sleep blissfully unaware of the election results. She was a lifelong learner always searching for truth, promoting peace and justice, and passionately loving those who needed it the most. And she was a lot of fun at a party.
I continue to be touched by your cards and words of encouragement and concern. Thank you....from the bottom of my heart.

ReplyDeleteThank you Janice. Having lost my mom at such a young age she filled a big gap in my life. I was so lucky that we connected so well.
DeleteSuch a lovely picture of Margie for this post. So many of your posts included her, and that proves what a gift she was to both you and Paul, and your family. May the memories of her help all of you to find peace in the days ahead.

Thanks Kathy! I love this photo too. She had just gotten her haircut and looked so beautiful. I tried to connect with her daughters as often as I could with photos...so that's the excuse I used when I snapped this photo. It's one of my favorites.
DeleteI was sad to read your post today. Please accept my condolences.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We are sad too, but she was ready...and would have been so pleased that it all happened so quickly.
DeleteThank you so very much!
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry. I knew by your posts how important she was in your life, and how much you loved each other. Isn’t it wonderful, though, that you know you will be reunited in joy throughout eternity!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is. Thank you so much for your kind and comforting words.
