William Jennings Bryan Thank You On the evening of November 12, 2007, Margaret's Heavenly Father called her to her eternal home.

Margaret was born to Roy and Laura Peterson on August 19, 1946 in Battle River (now Manning), Alberta. Margaret's early years were happy ones, spent on a farm near Manning with her sister Julie Ann and her brother David. It was during this time that she made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ, accepting him as her Lord and Saviour. After completing her high school education, Margaret moved to Calgary where in 1966 she met her future husband and best friend, Victor.

A few years later, in 1977 the couple celebrated another happy occasion when a daughter, Colleen Elizabeth, was born. While in high school, both David and Colleen met their future loves. Margaret and Victor were so happy when, in the summer of 1999, Karly Gordon joined the family as David's wife.

The following summer, they were thrilled to welcome Glen Hoare into the family, as Colleen's husband. It was not long for the grandchildren to arrive, Mariah, Hannah, Holly, Abbigail, and Micah. Each one was a special joy and blessing to Margaret. Margaret's life was marked by two special attributes love and service. As an expression of Christ's love, she dedicated her life to serving the underprivileged and those in need at times of bereavement.

Margaret loved to sing and spent many member of the First Alliance Sanctuary Choir. Margaretis survived by her husband Victor, her son David and his wife Karly, her daughter Colleen and her husband Glen, and five precious grandchildren.

Ni Wife or Daughter No one knows our heartaches, Only those who have lost can tell Of the grief that we bear in silence For the one we loved so well. Sunshine passes, shadows fall Love's remembrance outlasts all; And though the years be many or few, They are filled with remembrance of you. Husband or Son Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear. Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps him near You were always true and patient Through the years you struggled on And those hands that rest forever Made the home that now is gone Child He has gone to be an angel, Secure in our Father's care, And his dear little feet now patter along The beautiful streets up there. She was only a little rosebud A sweet little flower from birth, God took her home to Heaven before she was soiled on earth Friend or Kin We cannot, Lord, Thy purpose see, But all is well that's done by Thee.
