So sorry for your loss. It's been forever that I have had contact with the Clary family. When my memory takes me back to my mother's siblings it's always with a warm heart. I believe the last time I saw Aunt Mag was when I lost my mother. I remember thinking then how cute the Lubbs girls were. They all had such great laughs. I hope I inherited that trait and pass it on down the line. I'm sure there is a good time this week in the heavens as the Lubbs family help welcome her home.

I have only known Mag for a little over a year, but I know she had a wonderful smile, loved her family alot and really missed being at the farm. May your family be held close by God during the next few days and years ahead. All will be in my prayers. Mag will truly be missed at the nursing home.
