Margaret was a dear friend. We worked together at the bank when our children were young. We had maintained a wonderful friendship over the years, and although we weren't able to get together often, we had phone conversations. We always laughed about our wonderful full day Christmas Shopping at Lloyd Center when it was new. Shopped all day and didn't buy a thing. What a lot of laughs we had. She was a jewel, and I will miss knowing I can't just phone and talk with her. Her children were her joy. She loved the Lord Jesus Christ, and was faithful to her church. Couldn't ask for a sweeter friend.
