Some people just have it…..a great smile! You know one of those ear to ear heart-warming grins. One of those that is permanently plastered below their twinkling eyes. My friend Margaret Edwards had one of those smiles.
Of all the many times we visited together she always answered the door with a big, warm smile. It just made you feel welcome, loved and that she cared. Our visits were sometimes only a couple of minutes but sometimes would last hours. She was a lady who at 94 was younger in mind and spirit than many 30-year-olds I know. A prayer warrior, devoted family mother, grandmother, great-grandmother……sister, aunt you know the lady in the family and in church whom everyone loved. She was forever during our visits talking about her sisters, grandsons and grand-daughters and how much they meant to her. An angel of a lady. A God loving example of how we are to live, in peace and harmony with one another.
We lost an angel this week. Margaret at 94, the eldest senior member of Community Baptist Church family completed her work here on this earth and has moved onto more heavenly surroundings. We’ll miss her laughs. We’ll miss her stories. We’ll miss her compassion. But most of all I’ll miss those warm, wonderful smiles.
