So sorry to hear of Mrs Margaret’s passing. She loved her family and her dog Kea. She often told me about going to plays in Raleigh with Newman. She loved and treasured their time together. She told me that Mr Harry would take them and sit in car and wait for them. I bet she is giving Mr Harry an update on things, including the latest episode of The Young and the Restless. She will be missed but not forgotten.
So very sorry for your loss.

I was so surprised to hear the passing of Mrs. Margaret. I am Jeanette Norris-Ingram and I’m the niece of Cynthia Eure that was her roommate until May 28th when she napped that afternoon and didn’t wake up. Mayson my grandson sure did love her and loved playing peek a boo with her since he started visiting Aunt Cynthia. You sons and sisters helped me so much when I could not be there for Aunt Cynthia. Sending our love to each and everyone of her relatives.
We are so sorry for your loss and pray you will be comforted by beautiful memories and peace in knowing how much she loved you all. I spoke with her by phone about her Uncle Donley, my Dad’s passing. May she rest in eternal peace with our Lord, in that heavenly place, where there is no more pain or suffering or troubles of the earthly life. Praying for you all, The family of Donley Proctor
Still …. BE SWEET, I LOVE YOU
