Dear David and Harry,  We have just returned from out of town to discover
this message.  I'm sure that colleagues would want to know this news.  Would
you please post it, if it has not already been posted.  

 

We were delighted to see Margaret this past summer when she drove to Albany,
GA to be with us in a retreat that John was leading in colleague Joe and
Sandra Clift's church. In 1969  Carl Ennis and Bill Newkirk were the metro
colleagues who visited us when we first moved to Richmond, VA.   They talked
to us about recruiting a PLC which so excited us that we also recruited an
RS-I within the next month.  A few weeks later we put our house on the
market and headed to Chicago.   Some years later, we were assigned to the
WDC metro where the Newkirks shared the leadership with us and the Ennis
family were active metro colleagues.  Our common connections with the UMC
Virginia Conference kept us connected through the years.  We celebrate
Margaret's now completed life and our shared journeys as we send our care to
the Ennis family.

 

Lynda and John Cock

Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Family,

 

I must sadly inform you that Margaret died this morning at 9:30am after a
long bout with cancer.  The visiting Hospice nurse(bless them) could tell
that the end was near.  I was with her when she just stopped breathing.  

 

We are planning a Memorial Service here in Long Beach next Saturday
afternoon.  I hope to see as many of you as can come at that time.  The time
is 2:00pm, and at the 1st. UMC here.

 

Love to you all,   

 

Carl
