    I want to say how much sorry I am for your loss, however God gained a wonderful and most precious Angel. Moggie was sure one of a kind. She was an excellent seamstress. I remember the tux she made for my son Corey cause he was so very tiny and I couldn't buy one to fit him. He won just about every pageant he was in. I still have that tux and will always keep it, my son will be 26 in December. This is one truly amazing, talented woman and she will be deeply missed. Midge you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you girly!

    Midge and Dixie, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I thought a lot of your Mom. She was a very sweet and thoughtful person. Will be keeping you in my prayers. Losing our loved ones is so difficult and we continue to miss them for time to come, however, if our loved ones have a relationship with our Lord it gives consolation to know that they are with Jesus.
