Card of Thanks The family would like to thank Reverend Kasper for the comforting service, Maidstone Health Care Ladies for the lovely lunch, McCaw’s for their compassion and professional service and to all our family and friends for food, flowers, visits, cards etc. A big thank you to staff of the Pine Island Lodge for the care, compassion and love that was shown to our mom. Perhaps you sent a lovely card, Or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, If so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, As any friends could say; Perhaps you were not there at all, Just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, We thank you so much whatever the part. Thanks Jacquie, Buck & Family Patti, Rick & Family Donations in memory of Marguerite may be made to the Pine Island Lodge Building Fund.
