    I will forever be grateful for Margaret Wilson. I met Margaret in August of 2000 when I began my banking career. Margaret handled our pay and when pay raises or bonuses were approved she would always ask if I had check my payroll. Margaret was a Godly lady that loved her family and all employees of the bank. We will miss you but we will never forget you.

  10. Meryl, Durham, NC says

    I am very sorry to read of your loss. With Mrs. Wilson accomplishments, her love and joys, she was an amazing woman! I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love, is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is, John 11:25, which says, "Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you and, I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved wife, mother, grandma and friend. Sincerely, Meryl, jw.org - healingwordsforu@gmail.com
