Please feel free to share your love, stories, and pictures.My dearest Letty,
It was so nice to see all those family pictures, I had no idea your mom played hockey! I'm sure you find some comfort looking back on these memories. Sometimes you can almost remember the day, the weather, the smells, the sounds of laughter, and the warm hugs of your mommy. I didn't know her well but it was obvious that she loved you unconditionally. When you became part of our family, she did too and I'm happy to have memories of my own of our families coming together at my parents house. We most definitely will have that opportunity again in much better conditions (Isaiah 33:24). It's been impressive to see you, someone who is experiencing the severest emotional pain to be so devoted to your faith and physical health (2 Corn 12:10-"...For when I am weak, then I am powerful."). No doubt your strength comes from God's curative comfort. Seeking his will, will certainly bring healing to your aching heart. Until your heart is fully mended, keep our sure and true hope of a resurrection close in mind (1 Thes 4:13-15, 18). We are sorry for your loss and Jehovah is sorry too. We love you immensely and extend our love to your family. You are in our prayers. Love, David & Jess.

My heart goes out to all of Marga’s family over her tragic death! How we long for the time ,in the very near future ,when right here on earth,”death will be no more”. ( Revelation 21:4). At that time, I truly look forward to getting to know her well! The wonderful souvenir photos paint a lovely picture of a dear lady that I only got to meet twice, but I feel like I knew her more than that ,because of her amazing daughter, Letty, my dearest friend! May Jehovah continue to comfort all of Marga’s family until the time when there is “no more pain”. With love, Janis ( Roon) Kluz
Beautiful Pictures; Many Memories!
Our deepest condolences to the family. Marga's death was such an unexpected tragedy! She had much more life in her and a lot more love to give to her family, along with any of her suggestions (as caring mothers want to do).
I am so glad that we had the opportunity to get together on a few occasions/dinners (fun times). I remember the last time she came over she wanted to dominate on the Ping Pong table against her kids, she enjoyed that very much. That night she brought over the her "RICE"; its the best rice I have had! I loved it, I ate it for days... that night she also told me to put milk in my gravy, which I did!
Marga is missed, and she will be until Jesus calls her name in the resurrection. Marga is in God's perfect memory, and we can look forward to the time when the "Good News" in the Bible comes to fruition: When Marga will be resurrected; when there will be no more pain, crying of sadness , no more sickness... and definitely no more Pestilence... not even death! Looking forward to that day when we all gather together as family and friends to welcome her back to life! In Paradise! And she will love it! and THAT DAY will be such a WONDERFUL, PERFECT GREAT DAY!
(John 5:28, 29; Rev. 21:3,4).

We are truly sorry for your loss and send the family our deepest sympathies. Praying you are comforted by the peace of God (Philippians 4:7). Love, Johnny and Racquel Sullivan.
Learning about Marga was a real privilege and I am blessed to see some her amazing qualities in her daughter, Letty.
Words fail to capture the loss of losing a loved one, especially one like Marga. May God continue to sustain and comfort you at this time of great loss. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
We will continue to pray for your family.

Memories Is What We Have
I remember meeting Marga for the first time. Michael had returned from the Peace Corps and his adventures and travels in South America. He was so proud to introduce me and my family to his new bride and her lovely daughter Letty. "This will give Marga and Letty a new start in life, a new opportunity here in North America." To be so open and sharing something of this scale is monumental Michael! I do love you for this! I can only imaging the conversations you and Marga must have had before this huge move to North America. Marga must of had many challenges to overcome, loss of daily family interactions, loss of friends, loss of familiarity with daily life in her home town. These are huge obstacles to deal with. But as we know, Marga is one tough woman. She made her stand, and made her life work in this new country. I cannot even begin to imagine what she had to deal with mentally. The sorrows, the anticipation, the adventure began. I know she did find her new life as the years passed. Marga found sports, hobbies, and personal interests. And over time I think she became acclimated to the new world. I was always impressed when I talked with Marga. She seemed to have a great insight on so many levels. Relationships, daily life, responsibilities, kids, and fun time. The years went by, like life does. Her daughter Letty grew into a wonderful and thoughtful woman. Marga found new love, and adopted Irene, Cody, and Christopher, giving them a chance to experience a happy home. My memories..... Clay Pottery..... Marga works with clay. I think something she was familiar with in Paraguay. Clay heads, hands, and feet were sculpted, dried, and assembled into marionettes. String puppets, with great fabric clothing. Marga sculpted small animal figures that had a life and style of their own. Very specialized. I still have on my shelf a small elephant among with my personal collection of other treasured elephants. I posted a picture here in the photos for you all to see. Bicycle...... I remember Marga needed a bicycle to get around town. As you all should know, Michael is a very avid biker. Being in a large downtown city, Marga had the same knowledge of getting around town locally on a bike was always much easier than a car. I had a 10 speed bike from high school that I had ridden cross country and around town for boo coo years. Michael will tell you here that he has ridden "thousands" of miles, but I am still proud of my "many" miles over the years. Marga was thrilled to receive my "old" bicycle. For many years this was her local transportation around town. I am feeling kinda special for sharing this with Marga. It was a good bike, Marga was a special woman! The years go by, and I for one feel like I did not spend enough time with so many friends and family. Michael was always good about making sure Marga and Letty came to family gatherings. Those gatherings became less frequent in later years. Marga and her adopted kids, Irene, Cody, and Christopher, still made the journey to visit. I will miss Marga's hugs. I will miss Marga's laugh. I will miss Marga's talks and conversation on so many subjects. Mostly, I will miss Marga's warm smiles. We all have our numbered days to enjoy this one life, that we get to experience on this floating rock in space. I will keep the memory of Marga in my heart and head until I too fade away.
With Gratitude
I am so grateful to learn more about the life, bravery, and brilliance of Marga. Her adventurous pictures spoke a thousand plus words. I am so sorry for the loss of this brilliant woman, mother, and friend. Letty, Irene, Cody, Christopher, and Michael: you ALL our in my thoughts, heart, and prayers. May God's spirit of calm help you in this devastating time! May you live your life with such courage and endurance as Marga. May you keep her memory and legacy alive and strong..
