To all the Crain and Kinslow families –
It was with great sadness that we learned of Aunt Margaret’s passing. She was always a light in the room. I remember as a child the sound of her voice and laughter throughout the Christmas celebrations in Grandma’s small house filled with all the family. Her energy flowed throughout.
Later in life, I remember her calm, compassionate demeanor as we talked about life and children, during some one-on-one time. Of course, she would also sprinkle a little common-sense wisdom in her advice as well.
In later years, what struck me, was her spirit and energy endured over time. Especially with Joe by her side and wherever she went, Margret lit up the space, laughed, and joked, bringing a bright light to those that surrounded her. She will be greatly missed.
So sorry to hear about Margaret’s passing. I enjoyed getting to see and talk to her at our last class reunion. Thoughts and prayers for all of the family in the coming days.
