Jennifer and I wanted to express how sorry we are for the loss of your mother. What an amazing person ! We have used her as an example the best we could how to be a parent and a true disciple of Christ. Please know your mom and all of you will be in our families prayers.
My heartfelt sympathy to the entire family. Barbara and I are friends and I am personally pained by her pain and wish to offer my condolences in my way of helping her to share the load of her great loss. With love
So sorry to hear of Margaret’s passing ❤️she was a beautiful Lady
I delivered meals to Margaret through the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging. She had become one of my favorite people to visit with each week. A special lady who loved her family and was so appreciative of life. I will miss her daughters who lived nearby. Margaret touched my life.
The gates of heaven are wide open for her, The Good Lord was standing waiting for and saying ” job well done my faithful Servant”. What a beautiful lady. A true saint.
My deepest sympathy.
Sincerely,
Jeanne HUelskamp
