Dick & Brad & Odea!
It is so hard to believe that Marguerite is no longer with us. She was a joy to have as our church organist and we have missed her so very much. God certainly blessed us when she became part of our church family on the North Brookfield Baptist Pastorate. Always had a smile for each one of us in the choir and her smile would touch my heart in a special way. Always remember your good times with her and remember that God is walking with you during these difficult days. He never gives us more than we can take and my prayers and thoughts are with you all during these difficult days. Dick remember where we are and you are most welcome at any time.
God bless!

We would like extend condolences to Marguerite’s husband Dick and all of her family. We did not know Marguerite well but we remember her fondly from meeting her at my dad’s (Freebert) funeral in May. She followed me around until she finally got my attention and proceeded to drag me to meet the rest of her family who were with her. She was a very outgoing and talkative person and I wish I would have had more time to talk to her about the Freeman family. She will be missed.
