    I remember Marion coming to help Janet so often when the boys were babies. I was lucky enough to decorate the Christmas tree with her one year. Family came first to her which is why she’ll be missed so much. My love and prayers to the family on the passing of this great woman.

    I have many fond memories of the good times and hard work times I shared with Margaret. My fondest memories are the times Margaret and daughter Beth and some of us Williamson County Republican women took our trips to Current River. We had some great times. I will miss her. My love to her family She is a great lady.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are never alone. You can find much comfort in the Holy Scriptures which assures us at Psalms 34:18 that God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
