Auntie Margaret was a marvellously faithful sister and aunt. Her consistent presence in my mom’s (Esther) life and encouragement in mine was not only a blessing but something we relied on. Knowing she was lifting our names and family members up in prayer to the Lord brought comfort her faith was obvious to see. She is greatly missed and her absence will be felt for a long while. Condolences to the family doesn’t quite capture the depth of loss that will be felt. Knowing auntie Margaret was ready for Heaven helps.
