Thinking of you during this difficult time. Aunt Cookie was a great lady! I’m sure she’s with Uncle Arnie and they are both smiling.

December 5, 2019 at 3:21 pmEternal rest grant unto Meg O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her and may she rest in peace. Amen.
With our first and last letter writing in the summer, I felt that Meg was a wonderful fun-loving person full of hope and love!!
I will treasure this forever for I found a new friend. We know she is not physically around but her spirit will be with us full of memories to comfort us.
We can grieve with hope but not despair.
For Jeff, Lisa & family and all that’s listed above, Meg will be watching over all of us!!!
Be not afraid and let us keep the faith!!!
Love always,
Juliet A. Songco (Jeffrey’s mom) & family

I pray you know the comfort you provided margaret was never left un-noticed-she had such a perfect support of her children and entire family and you were her rock thru it all Ross.Be proud, be very proud of the love you have shown. Steve you were a rock also as you quietly provided loving arms and a good ear to Ross as he lovingly assisted his mom thru it all. I am so proud of you both and I know Margaret lovingly is also. She raised dedicated children and it is obvious she was 1 terrific “lady”.
Peace for your healing hearts,
