Always difficult to know what to say – I know Margarett had a good life, but the last few years were a struggle physically. God rest her soul. Prayers for her and her family.

I will always miss my Aunt Margaret. She was a kind caring person, wanted to live a quality life but was just not to be for some time. Great cook, loved her family and will be missed by all. Loving sympathy to Phyllis, Jeannie and family.

We want to extend our deepest sympathy to each one of you upon the loss of Margarett. My family knew Margarett very well thru Dr. Bruce Smith with all 4 of us having used Dr. Smith as our dentist while I was growing up. Margarett always made me feel comfortable coming in to the office and always had concern for me even after Dr. Smith passed away. She was a fine lady and will be truly missed. May God comfort, encourage, and support each one of you thru this difficult time. We will keep your family in our prayers. May God bless each one of you.
In Chrisitan Love, Amber(Cozort)Redburn, Norris/Ivene Cozort

Dear Family,
I want to offer my condolences to all of you in your heavy loss of Maragrett. I
attended Sunday School with her at First Baptist Church in Mountain Home and
grew to love her very much. I celebrate the life of this wonderful Christian lady.
She was a special person and I know you will have many adjustments to make.
May God bless each of you in the days ahead.
