    All of my thoughts and prayers for your families. Ms Margaret was always a Precious Soul. From selling pencils and paper each day before school. To becoming a Dear friend of mine. I Loved and Cherished my time spent with her, each week. It was not just about fixing her hair up Pretty. Ms Margaret was a Wonderful Lady who knew how to be much more than just a Striking Woman in the stylish fashion. . For her Beautiful smile, twinkling in her eyes and the sweetest comments, We’re just the adorning outside of her shell. Her beauty truly started within. Ms Margaret I know is standing tall and rejoicing in Heaven with all her Loved Ones that are already there.
