I graduated with Joyce and knew Mrs. Knight for a long time. Although I haven't seen either Joyce or her Mom for a very long time, I do have memories. I am so sorry about your loss. God Bless your families. Carol

I'm so sad to hear that "my other mom" is gone. Since Wendy and I were inseparable growing-up, I have so many cherished memories. Marguerite always treated me just like one of her children - with discipline and all. When I think back I can't believe she never sent me home! I'll never forget her teaching us how to make her home-made pizza. We would constantly ask her to make it. She finally taught us how so she wouldn't have to do it. I made it for years. I passed her special recipe on to my son Michael who loves it. A few years ago when I was home I was at the Mingo Park and all the sudden I hear "Well, hello there my daughter". Marguerite was there with friends listening to music and she introduced me as her other daughter to her friends. I'm so glad I got to see her. She had such a strong faith in God - we would get up late at night and she would be asleep with the bible in her hands. We would have to wake her up and tell her to go to bed. I know she is full of joy, dancing, singing and celebrating with her Father in heaven! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, Gina
