“Strength" is defined as having the physical ability and power to do something, the emotional or mental qualities necessary in dealing with situations that are difficult, and the capacity of a person to withstand great force or pressure. It is a word that has many different definitions, but I can proudly say that my Aunt Margaret was the epitome of the word “strength.” For everyone that knew Margaret Twombly, we can all agree that she was one of strongest and toughest women that we’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.
Whenever you looked at her, you could always see so much more than a pair of blue eyes looking back at you. You were able to see light and tragedy and happiness and emotions and if you looked close enough, you could always see her spark of strength and determination. Her eyes had seen so many events, while her pure heart had felt so many different things over the years. She didn’t share many of her memories with us, but she taught each and every person that she encountered what it truly meant to survive. We all should cherish the moments that we’ve had with her, and thank God for the time we were lucky enough to spend by her side. She had been an angel gracing this earth for all of her life, and now the only difference is that she is an angel up in heaven.
God welcomed her home with open arms and a smile that took all of her pain and burdens away.
Aunt Margaret was my hero, and she always will be. I will miss you Aunt Margaret. I'll see you again someday.
Love, Krista
