The Lord came today and took another angel
who lost her battle to cancer but not her will to live on.

MILLER, Margaret Elizabeth “Marg” – 78, Debert, passed away at home on Thursday morning, July 26, 2012, surrounded by her loving family, who worked tirelessly to help maintain the quality of life that she deserved.
