I did not know Miss Margaret long but in the short time I knew her I learned that she was a woman of great faith and love. I know she will be missed by her family and friends. A big thank you to Austin and Bruce for taking such good care of her. She is now home.

We only knew of Austin and Bruce when we went to her house, but we loved Margaret so, she was always glad to see you when we came to visit or Jerry going over there fixing things for her. She was such a sweet lady. We will miss her, that's for sure. Praying for her family.

I am so sorry to read of Mrs. Spivey Oiler's passing. She was always the kindest, sweetest, most loving person at Union Camp. I know Jesus was holding His arms out for her when she arrived. She will be watching over the family now. Prayers that all the family will join her one day. Peace be with all of you during this time.
