Leave a tribute for Margaret Virginia Welch Johnson.
Oh Margaret, how I miss you already! I am so grateful that the Lord brought you into my life. I know we both wished we had met years before, when we both were younger and had more energy, but we still managed to make the most of the time we had. We certainly laughed alot together and small adventures together. I know you are in a better place, with no pain, but I still miss you my friend. With Love. -Michelle Davis
