Mike and Gail: I am sorry for the loss of your mother. Ann
We will miss the delightful stories about Aunt Margaret. She truly was a wonderful role model for those whose life she touched. Her cheerful friendly spirit made her fun to be around. Aunt Margaret was not only my Mom's Sister, she was her best friend. We loved her too.

Ann, Sue, and Roger--
Here it is Friday 12:59 and I have just learned that your Mom's funeral services is this afternoon. My deepest love and condolences. Hope all of you know I would have been there in person. I can't believe I missed this information. I am so very very sorry. Please know I will be there in spirit and love!!! Lots of memories and fun times at the John and Margaret Newton homestead!!! Love you all- DJ
Mike, Gail and Family,
I was sorry to hear of Margret's passing. My memories of her are that of a sweet woman who smiled a lot and always welcomed me as a visitor to her home.
I know that no matter the age of our loved one when they pass, it is always a time of remembering the good times and the challenges, and grief for the loss of good times that will be missed. May your memories of the good times comfort you at this difficult time.
I am sorry I could not attend the funeral of visitation as I have a houseful of grandchildren and some of them are sick.
Mom was supposed to add my name to the flowers but forgot!! :)
Please know I am thinking of you all and praying for you at this time.
Sincerely,
Nancy and Gary Chandler
our thoughts and prayers are with you all, what a joyful, sweet and wonderful lady she was, she will be truly missed, but now she's with our dear lord, along side her loving husband john, looking over us all, of course smiling away.
It has been said that "Your character is best defined by how well you treat those that can do nothing for you." This statement is applicable to a select few and surely applies to our dear friend Margaret.
My heart was saddened for Ms. Margarets family but at the same time rejoiced in my heart to know that now she sits at the feet of the Father which is the ultimate goal of every Christ follower! She has reached the ultimate goal in life as a Christian, to be united in Christ in Heaven! What an honor and priviledge! The Bible teaches us to be absent from the body is to be present with Christ!
If you are one of her family members and you do not know Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour I encourage you to make that decision to accept Him as so. In order to see Ms. Margaret in Glory! Please don't miss that!
In sorrow and celebration. Denise Heckendorn Burt (Gail Newton's sister)
