When we all get to Heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! So grateful for the presence of God and the power and the witness of the Holy Spirit in her life. A true gem! God has used in her in life and now she wears this crown of glory as she sits at the feet of Jesus!

Our deepest condolences and prayers surround each of you as you walk this fine line of grief and rejoicing! May the gentle of arms of Jesus surround you and hold you closely as He reminds you of His everlasting love! Our love to all of you!

"When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be. When we all see Jesus we'll sing and shout the victory." There is joy in heaven for the victorious home coming of you loved one, Marge. She impacted our lives as teenagers. We knew she was the "real thing". Her love for all of us was genuine. That did not change as we became older. Every time we saw her, she exuded love and joy.

"Grandma Marg - the Christmas Salvation Army Lady", is what the Associates and customers of my TOPS called her. Since 1993, when I began working for TOPS on
Union and George Urban road, Grandma Marg was there like clock work, with her smile that brought sunshine to all who walked in the door. In about 2007, my department was moved to the front of the store and I had the pleasure of keeping an eye on Grandma Marg. As it got harder for Grandma Marg to come to the store and she retired from her post, she still ventured to come to our store once a week
to collect for the Salvation Army Christmas Event. To this day, customers ask about her every year. The Officers of the local Salvation Army were kind enough to
to tell me how she was the last few years and I was able to pass along the message.
One of the things Grandma Marg looked forward to every Christmas eve, was when I gave her one of my homemade Brandy fruitcake. We have missed her and now she has gone with the Angels to her sweet reward. With deepest Sympathy, the Associates and Customers of Tops Friendly Market at 3865 Union Road, Cheektowaga, NY

Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants.

Bill and Betty and your families. Please know that we are in prayer for you all as you adjust to the earthly loss of "Gramma Francis". We are so privileged to have known her and remember her laugh and the times she watched over our children while we attended retreats and conference when we were stationed at the Buffalo ARC. She certainly was a precious saint of God.
