Bernie, Thank you for sharing Maggie with us. You are a truly Blessed Man.
Bernie, Maggie and WVNan
Post 2 & 3 & pledge... simply wonderful!!!!!! Thank you Rus for presenting a wonderful tribute to our dear Maggie. When you have given love freely - as did our Lady-X - it will always remain... Always!
She was beautiful...inside and outside!

I love the photos you've put together of our Maggie.
It was on the back of a beautiful picture of Jesus in the clouds going towards the light.
I don't know who the author was/is
But I though it fit Maggie very well and it sounds very much like what she would say.
Safely Home
I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. at
Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! But Jesus’ love illumined Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus’ arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth’s shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s will.
There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth- You shall rest in Jesus’ land.
When the work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!
Anon.
I came across the memorial thread for another FR's Finest contributor, whoever. I'd like to share some quotes from that thread by both WVNan and LadyX as they honored 'who'. Their words, I feel can be turned around to honor Maggie.
From WVNan...
There are two ways of spreading light:
To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
whoever was both. The world is darker without her.

From LadyX...
Precious are some Freep mails received from whoever; preserved, fortunately.
To all who knew her, she was always a blessing and an inspiration, and one of God's brightest lights has left what we know as earthly life.
Her faith was rock solid, and decorated wonderfully the tapestry of her life - - one all who viewed it, saw it as a most beautiful one to behold!
Now and then she'd ask me if her posts were too bold - too 'preachy' - and always the answer was "No, dear who - we all clamor for more!"
We were the delighted recipients of her wit and wisdom and encouragement, and ever so gently, we, too, were immersed in her love of our Lord.
Sometimes I'd address her as " whoever - wherever you are - - "
There is nothing but joy this day, knowing where that is !!
In II Timothy, Chapter 4, Paul says,
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them that also love his appearing."
Whoever surely deserves the crowns that will be bestowed by a loving God! Every person among the mortals she touched will sparkle as a single jewel on them.
Can you imagine how many that will be?!!
If you're looking down on this thread, who, we now can see you clearly - - -
you shine in the heavens with His Radiance, smiling, and shouting with delight,
"See? I told you how glorious it would be!!
Can't wait until you are here to see for yourself !"
For ourselves, we weep - for you, beloved who, we rejoice - - -
