On behalf of all of the Dykes family. our prayers are with all of the Griener family in this special time.....the celebration of your Mom's life. She definitely was a special lady. Poppa, our dad, was one of those WWII pilots that she helped get his commercial license and had a wonderful 37 year career with Delta Air Lines. Unfortunately none of us Dykes boys can attend today's service. To Fr. George ( Rusty ), Margaret and John. Pat, Mike and I are there in "spirit".

My sincere condolences to Margaret, John and Eileen and Father George or Rusty ,as I remember him, and their families and all the Griener family. Aunt Margie was one of the most inspirational women I have ever met. She was a warm, kind and caring person. And she was incredibly intelligent and independent. Her strength of character and ability to weather all storms and go on created a model for my family that won't be forgotten. My daughter, Katy, was assigned a paper to write about the person who inspired her the most. She wrote it about Aunt Margie. My son, Kent, had his first solo, with only friends, camping trip on Aunt Margie's beach. Katy, Kent and of course Paul and I always enjoyed spending time with her. She was indeed a treasure that will not be forgotten!
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Griener family.

The day after Katrina, Mrs Margie pleaded for help clearing her driveway so that her guests could get out and seek shelter elsewhere. We agreed to help if and only if she would go with them... she vehemently refused .. after some time she reluctantly agreed to "leave", .We cleared the driveway( which took a couple of hours) and managed to get their vehicles turned around so that Margie and the others could leave ..which they did.. except for Mrs Margie who drove two driveways down ,turned around and returned home! When confronted about our deal that she leave, she replied ;as agreed; I did "leave" but I decided to come back!! ..Will remember George and Margie fondly in my heart, and frequently in my prayers! AMDG!
