The entire family sends it's love to all of you. Aunt Margaret was very special to all of us. We loved her very much and cherish all of our memories. We know that she is enjoying a wonderful "Reunion" with all her loved ones who pre-deceased her, and that we will see her again one day. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Carol Ramsay

My thoughts and prayers are with the Bouwens family. Margaret was like my second Mother as I spent so much of my time at your house growing up. I have such special memories of Margaret and what a loving and special person She was. She will be greatly missed but is now with our Lord Jesus Christ and will watch over Her family from above.

My thoughts and love to all of the family. Margaret was my second Mother too. I guess the Lord thought since I was young and dumb I needed another Mother. I'm sure glad he picked Margaret and all of her kids. Her family always had a plate for me on the table come dinner time! The Lord gave me a second home filled with love and great times. I stayed many nights with them. I remember going up to Meijer's to buy a can of Sun-Glo pop and saying hi to her. Now as she joins the Lord at his dinner table I bet she's looking around to see where I am.(?) (I'm trying to be good so I don't disappoint her 😊 ) I love you Margaret and thanks for being a wonderful part of my life. And thank-you for all of your kids! Rest in Peace. Don Cornell

To the Bouwens family; It was an honor to have known a woman like your Mother. She was the most beautiful, loving and caring woman I could have ever asked to know. May GOD be with you all and help you this time of need. Larry Wagner
