Rock cakes
Margie was the most gentle and kind person I ever met. Angie and I met her relatively recently compared to most, only 9 years ago but she cemented a place in our hearts very early on. In 2017 I had a bad accident, I was laid up for while. The love and care we got from Margie (and Fat) was unforgettable. Meals, items to make me comfortable, nothing was too much trouble. We often met at their house for lifegroup, Margies rock cakes were just the best, hence the plate of them on the table today. Heaven is a richer place now.
