Bill, Teresa, Tim, Kayla and Chad We are so sorry for the loss of your mom and grandma She was a wonderful lady and will be missed by several Mooresville residents. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Love Be tty, Vicki, Justin, Robyn and Courtney
‘Bill and Teresa- There are not enough words to describe Margaret, she was truly a treasure! It was great growing up by Margaret, she treated me just as if I was another one of her grandchildren. Then after moving back from Texas I had the opportunity to live across the street from her, the many conversations and love she gave will always be cherished memories. But the one thing I will truly miss the most was being Margaret’s Christmas ‘Secret Elf’, the true meaning of Christmas! Please think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched, for nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much! May her memories surround you and bring you comfort, with deepest sympathy. With all my love, Ginger Sheley
