I met Margaret through the Hawkebury Graduates Christian Fellowship Reunions (for the Christian group at HAC). I will always remember her quietly encouraging me, and others, at these reunions. I will miss her beautiful smile. I am so thankful for the trust she had in God!
Helen NicholsonHelping Margaret one year with the SUFM Bible Society promotions. After one chat I gave with the adults and kids. Quietly later Margaret asked me what a ‘turd’ was well not the place to mention the story here in full you had to be there memories and long life friendships were made.. Suffice to say it was the biggest year of Bibles and books sold. Margaret has the ability to quietly and quick wittedly add a wise quip leaving all smiling and warm hearted. She was a gift of gentleness and joy and her soft curls danced about her brow with beauty. Her insights to garden and flowers was extensive. Her love for the Lord radiated to all. Will treasure the last embrace we had at Kurrajong Baptist Chirch before we left for the Missìon field in Cambodia with Australin Baptist churches Global Interaction. Thanks for your prayers and supporting encouragement Margaret. See you in glory sister Margaret mwah warm hugs Deb and Rob Griffith
