Dearest Sista, My heart is heavy with pain as I try my best to be gentle in telling you that God called for Maggie to come home to Him during the night to be at His side. Her pain and suffering have ended forever.

God allowed her to return to her home for a few brief hours,where she was able to see her great grand daughter for the first time. To tell me that she loved me and that she was oh so tired. Her grandson fixed her request for chicken noodle soup, and macaroni and cheese dish. (passing on the word to him through to cook the noodles 15min not according to the package direction.) She wanted them soft. We held hands and talked a bit, then she told me she was tired and to eat something. She wanted to sleep after coming home from dialysis. The Lord called her around 3am to 5am this morning. She slept in His peac. Thank you Jesus for giving us a few more moments with her. Our family and I want to thank you all for your support and prayers. I was able to show her prayer request book sent to her and read some of the prayers. She was truely touched by you all. For she loved each and every one of you with all her heart. In my heart I know she is telling God about all of you and thanking Him for giving her the honor and joy you gave her. Love, Bernie

We loved her, too. I can't quit crying, though I know she rests in the arms of Jesus. God bless you....God rest her soul!

I am so sorry for your loss, Bernie.

I came to cherish Maggie so much on the Texas Cowboy thread..and I will miss her a lot.

I AM very grateful that God gave her the time to see her family, at home, once more...what I gift.

Please take care of yourself..and remember, we are praying for you and your family...and will be here for you, if you ever need anything.

God Bless you, Maggie!

Oh Bernie, thank you for taking the time to give us the news personally. Steve just called me a little bit ago. Our prayers are with you and all the family. May the Lord give you comfort and peace in the days ahead. I am so glad that she got home and had the chance to see her great grandaughter, and that the two of you had time to just "be" together. I know she was tired, having fought the disease for so many years.

There is no doubt that she is truly "home" now. My hope for the future is that she will be there to greet me when I go home. Of course, there is no way that I could ever convey to another how deeply Maggie and I loved one another. The pain of losing her rivals that of the passing of my family members. My heart is breaking.

God bless you and give you strength for the journey.

Dear Bernie,

My prayers are with you and the family. I am saddened by the news of my Cuz's departure to live with the Lord, yet can't help but rejoice that she won't know anymore pain.

She was an example to me and I will miss her. Please don't be a stranger to The Finest or FR.

You and the children are in my prayers daily.

Oh Bernie and Nan..I am sure that this wonderful woman, who touched so many lives is now in God's loving glory.

How empty the heart & home can be when a loved one passes but the comfort of her Christian walk & eternal life can give you all some peace.

We thank God that we had the honor to know & experience this wonderful woman. She brought sunshine where ever she went and is now doing the same in heaven

I am truly sorry. The day comes for each of us when we take our last breath & step into eternity, but we are never quite ready to say goodbye

Our deepest condolences.

Maggie is in the arms of a loving God. Now we will pray for you, that you will be comforted and rest in the assurance of Christ's love and mercy.

ALL that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. He that raised up Jesus from the dead will also quicken our mortal bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in us. Wherefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Thou shalt show me the path of life; in thy presence is the fulness of joy, and at thy right hand there is pleasure for evermore.

Bernie....we all love you. I'm happy to read that she was able to be in her home, to see her baby, to be with you, before God called her Home.

Thanks be to Him for taking her into His presence and sustaining her with His glory and His love.

Many prayers for all of you,
Your Friend,
