Margie Support PersonI met Margie when she came to our Master Gardener training in Cass County to help present a program on native Texas plants. We decided to form a chapter in Cass County and Margie was right there doing her part in the organization and getting new members signed up. Prior to this, I had never heard of a native plant, but Margie was always so supportive as I began to learn the plants. She was always so kind and such a cheerful person to be around as we met monthly for our meetings. I am glad that I had the opportunity and blessing of having Margie as a friend. She will be missed.
So very sorry the loss of your precious Mother. Thinking of you all and sending prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Wayne and Judy Fergurson

I'll have a Room with aView, what sights I will see there, The Saints of all ages they will kneel atHis feet, around the throne, but in my new home, when I look out the Window I'llsee the face of my King–Just one look will do to prove it's a room, a room witha view.–Barbara Barnett

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Margie was a encourager and always so friendly. I worked with her one summer at the Daingerfield State Park and she kept me laughing. May God bless you and carry you in HIs arms in the days ahead.
I am so sorry to hear of Margie passing. I cannot see a picture of her without smiling. She was always such a positive person. I remember a really hard day and seeing her that evening at a Native Plant meeting with a big smile and greeting made the work days issue dissolve. She had the rare talent of making those around her Happy.
