So sorry for y’alls loss. Margaret was a great friend of my mother Betty Hargrove. She taught my Mom how to paint. They spent many days painting together at her house. May the Lord bless and keep ya’ll thru this hard time.
Extending our deepest sympathy in the loss your sweet Mother and Grandmother. We pray you all find comfort in knowing you will be with her again one day. Margaret had such a sweet smile and always seemed to share her smile with everyone she met. We hope you will always remember these happy times with her. Sincerely, Don & Linda Tooley
I have such great memories of Grandma Hoffman. I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile. I keep a cross bookmark she crocheted in my Bible. Love and prayers for you all.
You all have been so blessed. I’m thankful to have know Margaret and seen her quiet, sweet spirit. Never saw her without a smile! Truly a child of The King!
She was a wonderful lady. So full of life and lived it to the fullest. She was loved by so many and an inspiration to us all. She will be missed. My deepest condolences to you all.
Please except my sincere sympathy. Margaret and I were in DAR together. I have been unable to be an active member for several years but I always enjoyed visiting with her when I could attend. She always seemed happy and was never without a smile. May God bless her family and give them peace.
