Aunt Margie....you were just about the sweetest person I knew!! Always so kind and had such a sweet voice!  =)  I'll miss you much, until we meet again!!  <3     Love,  Janet & Makayla

Marguerite was a sweet, sweet sister.  June and I will miss her terribly.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bill,Gill, Charlene and Darlene.

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO ALL OF YOU. I WAS PRIVLEDGED TO KNOW AND WORK WITH MARGIE FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS. SHE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND A POSTIVE ADDITUDE AND LOVED HER FAMILY.

Dear Uncle Bill and Family,So sorry to hear of Aunt Margie's passing.Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.Love,Carol and Neso

I was fortunate to have two sweet sisters in Mildred and Marguerite.  Mildred passed several years ago.  Our brother Dale passed a few years ago.  Margie and I had been apart for many years, living in different parts of the country, but were very close and always tried to drop by to see her and Bill every year on our annual trek to Florida.  As Scott said earlier, you never heard Margie utter anything bad about anyone, she was such a sweet and kind person, just like our Mother.  June and I are praying that Bill will be okay now that Margie is gone.  June and I will keep Bill, Gill, Charlene and Darlene in our thoughts and prayers.  We will miss Marguerite terribly.

To the family of Marguerite:  Sonny and I wish to offer our sincere condolences in the death of Marguerite.  Even though we were not able to visit often, we still remember her sweetness.  She was Sonny's first cousin.  His daddy was Homer B. Blackman Sr. (Nellie's brother)  Sincerely, Sonny and Mary

May God be with you in this time of sorrow. I did not know Marge was ill. My niece, Bobbie in Jacksonville called me last night. I was in Jacksonville a few weeks ago and was going to try to go see her, but did not make it. I am so sorry that I missed seeing her. 
She was such a wounderful and dear person. She is one of my favorite cousins. 
We all loved her very much

All our love Jackie Stover and family

Charlene, Darlene and Gill, you are in my prayers.  Your mother, my aunt, was a wonderful person, always with a beautiful smile.  I miss her already, but knowing we will all be together one day in heaven brings joy to my heart.
Your loving cousin,
Michelle

Aunt Margie, i will always remember what a wonderful and loving person you were and still are. We will meet again in heaven. Love~Melina, Frankie and Caylee

Few of us will have the opportunity in our live to meet a person who is loving, genuine, sincere, caring and giving. Very few people have theses rare qualities. Marguerite had them and used them everyday to teach the rest of us. Marguerite is my mother-in-law, and in the 28 years she has been my mother-in-law, I never heard her say a negative, derogatory thing about anyone. How many of us can make that statement, but wish we could? Even was her health was failing, she had courage, dignity, great sense of humor and a little vanity (always wanted her hair to look good).  Marguerite was a wonderful wife, exceptional mother and cherished mother-in-law. Thank you for all of the lessons you have taught me. Thank you for all of the kindness you have shown me. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your family.  Thank you...for just being you. I will miss you!
Love,
Scott

Gill, May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.  I was remembering all those Saturday nights singalongs at your house in Lakeland . What good memories.

Gill, our sincere condolences to you and your entire family. I remember your Mom, our Aunt Marge, as a soft spoken and kind person.  She and Bill kept in touch with my Mom and Daddy some over the years with visits to Lakeland and they always enjoyed hearing from her. Our love and prayers are with you all.

Becky (Jones) and Scott Wiley

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
