So very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother Eric, I send my deepest condolences and prayers to you and your family.
I went to MCHS with Margarete, although she was one class ahead of me. Everyone loved her. She always had time and a smile for us underclassmen and kids who didn’t have a lot. When I worked at WJJM, the local radio station in Lewisburg, later on she loved to call and request songs occasionally. She loved good music…Rock and Roll. I’m heartbroken. I’ll always remember her and I’m sure I’ll see her again. In Christ, Bill Massey.

So sorry to hear about your Mother. Many prayers to you and your family.
May she r est in peace. She was a beautiful lady. My hubby was having heart surgery in Nashville, and I was alone and scared, and she walked in the door to be with me. I will never forget her. Prayers and condolences to her precious family.
This breaks my heart. I loved “Aunt Margarete” and she was like family to me. She was a great support during some of the roughest times in my life. My prayers are with each of you.

Jenny, We are so sorry for the loss of your mother, and know how hard it is to give up a parent. You can take comfort in the fact that you have been a daughter in whom she could be well pleased.
I am shocked and sad to hear this news. My deepest sympathy to all the family. I am so sorry for the pain in your hearts. I pray that God will comfort your hearts with His eternal love. He is faithful to His promises. When Lazarus died, Jesus wept even tho He knew He was going to raise him. I believe He wept because of the grief and pain He saw in Mary and Martha and those that loved Lazarus. I believe that same Savior weeps with His children when their hearts are broken. God bless you with His peace and perfect love. I know this is a very loss.. Loce, Linda
Murray and family: I’m so sorry for your loss.
