Margaret was also blessed with 6 beautiful grandchildren, Rebecca, Francesca, Sian, Christopher, Sophie and Harry who love and miss her everyday. Rebecca's husband Steve, Sian's partner Gareth and Sophie's partner David were also a very big part of her extended family and loved very much.

Also a great and very important part of Margarets life were her beloved brothers and sisters; Beryl, Janet, the late Val, Kath, John and Robert who she loved like her children and helped bring them up due to her mothers early death.

The following Poem was written by Margaret’s sister Beryl before they realised how seriously ill Margaret was:

Our Sister Margaret

Mam never would have left us to face this world alone
That’s why she chose you Margaret out of everyone she knew,
She knew that you were special, considerate and kind
That’s why she chose you Margaret for all of us to mind,
She knew that you would take care of us in every kind of way,
We love you dear sister with every passing day,
We all know dear sister that you have been so ill
But God has given you that strength to get you well again,
Because he knows we need you so to get us through each day,
We love you dear sister more than words can ever say
Mam must have chosen an Angel in every special kind of way,
She knew what she was doing leaving us in your care on that day,
This verse is not to make you sad it’s to tell you how we feel,
God bless you dear sister for everything you have done
We know you will be there for us in all the years to come.

Margaret loved her family dearly and through them she will live on in their hearts and minds, we all know she is in a better place, in no more pain, but it doesn't take away the pain of losing her and wishing she was back with us xxx

Margaret's favourite psalm 23:

THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
