Vida Mae, I am praying for you today. I rejoice that your mom is with the Lord; I grieve with you in your loss. I treasure the memory of our friendship and wish we could renew that contact. I know you will miss your mother. Blessings to you.
Somebody forgot the picture!
Vida and Lalah, I think of each of you often and want to express my condolences to both of you in the loss of a great woman. I never had the opportunity to meet Margaret but I know she had to be a wonderful lady to have raised such wonderful people as you Vida and Tommy. My prayers and thoughts are with you through this loss.
Vida--I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a nice lady. When I think of her, I think of the trip the three of us made to Jane MO to attend a wedding. She was so sweet & rewarded me with one of her infamous friendship cakes. I know you will miss her dearly. Know that I am thinking of you & your family during this time.Gena Hartman

I was blessed enough to have been able to see Grandmother just before her 100th birthday. She was always a joy to be near. As a child, my brothers and I would visit her and Granddaddy quite often. Later in life, they both were very regular at coming to visit their great-grandchildren. In all of those years I don't remember ever seeing either of them in a less than joyful mood. Grandmother always had kind words for everyone, which made it such a joy to be around her. She will truly be missed here, but I look forward to joining her and Granddaddy in Heaven one day. Our temporary loss is Heaven's gain. I will be present to see her off to the next stage in life.
My husband and children did not have the privilege of meeting my great Grandmother. I show my children photos and they understand how special it is to have a great great Grandmother and to have her spend 100 years on Earth. That in itself is truly amazing. She was so blessed to have such a caring daughter in my Grandmother Vida Mae. She spent a lot of time visiting her and making sure she was being cared for in the best way. I know she will be greatly missed but has left behind many happy memories.
Not very many people have the privilege of knowing their great grandmother, I am very blessed to say that I did. I have seen pictures of her holding me as a baby and the pleasure of meeting her later in life. She was always a joy to be around and very loving to her family. I was able to take my wife to meet her after we got married and we both had the honor of seeing her last year right before her 100th birthday. Margaret and her husband George shared more than 50 years of loving marriage together before his passing, my wife and I look forward to attaining a great milestone such as this and know that it is possible based on their example of true love. She touched so many lives while here on this earth and we know that we will see her again in heaven.
This woman was an awesome Great Grandmother. I regret never taking the time to let her meet her wonderful Great Great Grandson and beautiful Great Great Granddaughter. I remeber spending time at her house as a boy learning to make homemade icecream before the electric machines were invented and learning how to crochet a little. She was always sweet and loving, not like some of the irritable old folks of this world. I have never been great at visiting and keeping in touch with family like my parents, grandparents, great grandparents and great great grandparents always were. I have a few 5 generation photos that the family made sure to take the time to make happen. Myself and my cousin Erica Atherton are making an attempt to be better at this like we always should have. We can't change the past, but in my Great Grandma Liles honor andmemory we are gonna make a better future. She was very loved, has only great memories left behind and will be missed.David W.
