Need too try fill the emptiness of thinking go to work go see mom, go to bed same thing next day for past few months. Haven’t gone out much since Aimee and Deb left just stay in bed or on couch and sleep. I know you are with me all the time as I have been doing a lot of talking to you out loud!❤️
You’ll be greatly missed by so many Margaret. You were the cornerstone of this family. Your presence will not go unnoticed but your teachings and love will live on in the hearts of the many lives you impacted. 🤍
