I will miss seeing her at the family reunions. I did not realize she had so many grandchildren. What a legacy! She truly will not be forgotten. May God continue to bless you all.

I didn't realize that Aunt Maggie was 97 years old. As time goes by we all go our different ways. I have fond childhood memories of Aunt Maggie and Uncle Ralph. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. May God be with each and everyone of you.

Dear Family, Our sincere sympathy during this difficult time. May God bless you all and provide his comfort and peace.
