Pastor David, April, Luke, Olivia, and Levi, we send our love and sympathies as you say goodbye to your mother and grandmother. We were so glad to get to visit with her when she was at North Haven in recent months. What a precious Godly mother and grandmother you have been blessed to have. I know you will miss her so. What a comfort to know that she is whole, strong, and at home with her Lord and Savior, and that you will see her again! May you experience the peace and comfort that only the Holy Spirit could provide at a time such as this. Love and prayers.
Dear Savage Family;
Words could not ever touch or begin to describe our heartfelt LOVE for Sister and Aunt Margaret.
We She was a “PRAYER WARRIOR”! Always on the FRONT-LINE for those who asked her to lift them or their situation up to the Lord, Jesus Christ. People knew her relationship with Jesus was as ONE♥️. She will be missed. Aunt Margaret IS there with the one she put her trust and obedience in, daily. May GOD hover over each and every one of you in the days ahead.
We are thankful God allowed our family to share in her life. She made an impact on so many lives.
Those lives will make an impact for the KINGDOM.
We have you in our thoughts & prayers. Ronnie and Rita Wright
