  4. Truly one of the sweetest souls I have had the pleasure of knowing. Every Sunday morning I was greeted at the door with this smiling face, a hug, and a kiss on the cheek. I would always ask her, “How are you this morning, Ms. Margaret?” And her answer was always the same … “I am blessed and highly favored!” Oh how I am going to miss our Sunday embraces. Don’t ever underestimate your ability to mark a life with kindness. Margaret marked mine. Your loved ones fondly remember as Heaven embraces. Until our reunion, Ms. Margaret. Love you so! ❤️
