I will miss Grandma so much and will cherish all the memories I have of her. I will never forget the fun times we shared in Gretna and Florida.
My heart is breaking that Grandma isnt with us anymore but I am glad she is no longer suffering. I have always had a special connection with her..i have called her Grandma Sugar Pie since I could talk, she taught me a lot of my cooking skills heck we even sneezed the same :) I will always remember her funny sayings, her kind heart and her unconditional love. She will remain in my heart forever.
Margaret was likedloved by all who knew her. She was always very good to me and I will always cherish the good times spent with her.
I will miss Grandma so much. She was a really sweet lady who always told me to go after my dream of being on the radio. She will be missed by everyone who had the joy of spending time with her
I will miss you more than you know. You truly loved Rob and I and the times we spent at the country club and your living room will always be warm memories in my heart. Thank you for helping make Rob the man he is today. Te Amo.
Margaret was the sweetest lady who I knew, she had love in her heart for all she met and she will be missed.
Dear Ron, and family,
We know Margaret will be sorely missed. She was a wonderful woman, full of love and life and she loved the Lord Jesus dearly. But we rejoice that now she is with Him and will be forever more. Take heart; you will see her again! Love, Linda
I enjoyed both you and your mother. She was such a kind and gentle soul..She had graduated to Heaven and will be missed here. Her love and generosity has caused a ripple effect through out the Universe. May the Blessing Be for you Ron and your family.
Love Maureen and Larry Cann
Margaret always made me feel special wherever we met. She was a sweet gentle lady who will be missed by her family and friends but welcomed into heaven with open arms.
Marge was a great neighbor. She and Floyd are
together at last. My sympathy to the family.
When I was a little girl it was always a special time when Uncle Floyd and Aunt Margaret visited. Floyd brought games and Margaret fascinated me with her stories and jewelry. Even when I visited last year we were like little girls looking at her jewelry. I loved being with her.
We will miss Margaret but we have a lifetime of memories to comfort us. We will never forget the good times that we had at the Schlauch reunions at Franklin Manor and Cape Ann. We sincerely enjoyed our annual visit with her and Floyd after they moved to Florida. Margaret and Floyd will be in our thoughts forever.
Dear family and friends of Margaret Ann Schlauch, It is my honor to officiate the service for Margaret Ann Schlauch on Friday March 9, 2012. I pray that God will give comfort and peace to Ron, Susan, Becky and the rest of her family and friends. May the Lord be with you all and bring back many happy memories. May he comfort you with hope for the future. Revelation 21:4
So many happy times spent with Aunt Margaret and Uncle Floyd. They are missed. Our love to the whole family as you celebrate her life.
