---------------------------------
May 1, 1921 - September 30, 2012 .. attached is an earlier photo of her family.
Sister Margaret was surrounded by her loving family and many wonderful friends.
- Oct. 3, Tuesday AM - There was a visitation at the Leamington Mennonite Home for her friends there.
- Oct. 4, Wednesday 6 - 9 PM - Visitation at Reid's Funeral Home. Lots of beautiful pink, lavender and white flowers.
- Oct. 5, Thursday 9:30 AM - A graveside service was held at Evergreen Memorial Cemetery. Her husband Jake's ashes were buried with Margaret. Six year old Greenly, a great-granddaughter, made some little paper hearts to drop in too. So cute. It was a beautiful morning.
- Oct. 5, Thursday 11:00 AM - Memorial was at the Oak St. Mennonite Church. After the benediction, son George read Margaret's life story, the minister played the piano and his wife sang, Linda accompanied a cousin playing a clarinet, lots of beautiful music which Margaret would have LOVED.
- After the service a wonderful lunch magically appeared in the church hall followed by sharing. I read a poem written by Margaret (attached), son George read a poem brother Art had sent to Margaret, we heard a beautiful soprano duet by Ed's dau. Rosalind and his brother's dau. Janice... and more.
So many familiar faces .. just wish I could remember all of their names.

Poem written by
Margaret (Mathies) Toews
for Canada’s 1967 Centennial celebration.
I was just a little immigrant,
my age was almost three,
and I’d like to tell you what Canada means to me.
We left a country so far away,
where they told my parents ‘tis wrong to pray.
We had many possessions, land, silver, and gold,
but what gaineth a man if he loses his soul?
“There is a land,” our ambassador said,
“where there is freedom of faith and even bread.”
For you see, we were hungry, frightened and worn,
having weathered a terrible revolutionary storm.
Our ambassador approached Prime Minister King
“to help us across, we have lost everything.”
The Prime Minister said, “Do you give me your word
that your people will payback every penny when earned?”
And with but a “word” we did immigrate,
escaping a country so full of violence and hate.
O CANADA! You’ve been good to me.
Tis truly a land of great opportunity.
I can sing and rejoice, in the church of my choice.
“Faith of my fathers, living still!”
in CANADA, on this CENTENNIAL.
By permission,
Signed, Margaret Mathies Toews
