Please accept our sincere sympathy in temporary loss of this special lady.
Ms. Margaret was my mentor and friend. We took 4 Disciple Bible Studies together at First United Methodist Church in Benton. She was wise, kind and had a sassy sense of humor. I wrote in the back of our workbooks a list called “Margaret’s Pearlsâ€. To her daughters and family, her legacy lives on in you. Prayers for those she loved.
