    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!
