Death notice for the town of: Windsor, Province: Ontario
Marg was the the gentlest sweetest lady when I knew her at Rexdale Alliance Church. She was the anchor of her beautiful family. One of those persons you always had to say hello to her with her beautiful. smile. Our Lord knows He’s got a great one this time. My thoughts and prayers are out for the family. Pastor Bud was likely the first at the welcoming gate in heaven.
