May the family of Margaret Luckow find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit He saves.” (Psalm 34;18) Our loving Creator has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy.
I’m sad to hear of Margaret’s passing. She sure lived a full life though. Ned and I were her next door neighbors at Lake Sullivan. Our family has told many stories over the years that included Margaret and Clarence. We spent a whole weekend at their house one time during a storm when our power went out. They were always so good to our kids. Margaret’s life was well-lived.
I am very sorry to hear about your mother. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
