To the family of Margaret Young. We were so sorry to hear of the death of Margaret. We always enjoyed our visits with her at her home and them the retirement home. She always remembered us and wanted to know about all the family. Bill's mother Thelma Story were friends and when she was alive would visit with us. She really enjoyed the visits when Lloyd our son could visit with us. She would always say that he was her boyfriend. I am sure that all of you will miss her. She lived a good life and seems to enjoy herself where ever she was. I can remember as a little girl when she would visit Georgia (David & Ruby) with Bert & Virginia. May God Bless and comfort all of you during this time. Shirley Ezell Story. Bainbridge, Ga.
