There are very special people whose kind and loving hearts touch everyone who knows them. Marguerite was such a person. Her good spirit and wise heart saw each person in a caring way, the way Jesus teaches us to see them. Even when her health difficulties increased, she still generously gave of herself. With deepest sympathy and prayers for God's comfort.
