I hadn't thought of Margaret Corley in a long time until I saw this. My Mother had a Sno-Wiz shop in South Park in the mid 60s. The Corleys lived across the street and we were friends for about four years. Margaret and Sharon were older than me and I remember Terry and Johnnie being younger. I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers. Judy Frazier

My dear friend is gone but never will be forgotten. We helped each other through trials, crying and laughing at our selves. I know she's in heaven and I'm thankful she doesn't have to suffer any longer but I'm going to miss my buddy. I'm thankful that she had this last year with you Teresa you'll never know how much that meant to her, and what a big help you were to her. And if it's a possibility you know she'll be watching over you all.

Sincere condolences to your family. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God provide the necessary peace and comfort to your family and friends during this difficult time. Please remember these words of encouragement from the Bible: “ Jesus plainly told her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” —John 11:20-25.

I meet Margaret through a family member while she was living in Louisiana. Margaret loved talking about her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved them all unconditionally with her whole heart. I thank God that I had the means to bring her back to Texas closer to her family. Margaret loved having people over and liked to cook. She loved "STUFF"! Her home looked like a museum. Everytime I would go over I would look around to see what was new. She loved flowers, gardening and gnomes. We spent a lot of time visiting and talking on the phone. She became a loving and caring sister to me. The last to weeks I saw her, the cancer has taken a toll on her. The day I saw her in the hospital I knew our time was over. I will miss her tremendously. She always had my back. I am grateful to have met her family & love them all. I pray for comfort for her family, friends and myself.
