My condolences to the Thurn and Mathews family for the loss of your dear loved one. During this most difficult time, may your hearts be comforted in knowing that death was not a part of Jehovah God's purpose. Therefore, he has promised that he will swallow up death forever, and wipe away the tears from all faces (Isaiah 25:8). Also during the days to come, may Mrs. Mathews' sweet memories fill your hearts with joy and peace.

Frank and family, Margie and Frank have been such wonderful friends of my family's. We will miss her smile and laughter. The Mathews were close with my grandparents, Margaret and Joseph Byrnes.

We can take solace in knowing that we will all be together again. Love and prayers, Jeanine

Dear Uncle Frank and All My Southern Cousins: The world has lost a truly beautiful soul with Aunt Margaret's passing. Her genuine kindness, thoughtfulness and ever present smile will be remembered always. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.

- Bernadine Thurn-Jerome Substanly Family, Gahanna, OH

With deepest sympathy as you remember Margaret. God misses those who have passed away, He misses their prayers. “ The prayer of the upright is a pleasure to Him.” – Proverbs 15:8. He promises soon that he will resurrect His loyal worshipers. Job 14:13-15. Unbelievable? The Bible calls Jehovah God “the source of life.” (Psalms 36:9) The One who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died. He has resurrected humans in the past. John 11:39-44. By meditating on God's promises found in the Bible, you can find real hope and the strength to keep going. 1 Thessalonians 4:13. Caring thoughts are with you, Candace

- Candace, Olalla, WA

Margie was such a blessing to me while I visited Savannah with my mother Mary, and later Auntie Sister Felice. Her hospitality and abiding friendship will be missed. May God comfort your family as she has comforted so many. I know He's saying. "Well done, good and faithful servant!" Hers was a life well lived, and it's continuing with her Lord in heaven. We love you, Frank and Margie!

- Sheila amos, Raleigh, Nc

She ALWAYS has a kind word from the Lord to share and a sweet smile. She always had sweet memories to share of my mother with me.

- Jean Agrilla Medina, Wilmington Island, Ga

I would just like to send my sincerest condolences for your loss. It's never easy to go through losing a loved one. I thought you might take comfort in God's promise for the future at Revelation 21:4 where he says "he will wipe out every teat from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain new anymore. The former things have passed away."

- Jaye Grigsby , Savannah, GA

We were very saddened to hear of Aunt Marge's passing. She was the greatest aunt not only to our family, but also to our girls. They will always remember the spring breaks spent at the beach house on Tybee, and the countless birthday cards that she sent them every year. Even though she was born and raised in Columbus, she epitomized southern hospitality and will be greatly missed. We will be praying for the southern branch of the Thurn family.

- Loretta Thurn Schlegel , Columbus, OH

My prayers and thoughts are with Mr. Frank and the family during this time! Mrs. Margie will be greatly missed! I always look forward to seeing her smile every Sunday before she came in to lead the Rosary. She was such a source of encouragement.
