Dear Farrah and Ray,
Even with your mum being so far away from us every memory of her was a happy one and from the messages ive read it seems she had this affect on people. I know she will be missed from this side of the pond. Were thinking of you both. Kevin and Jenny

I know your mom is looking down on you both and is so very proud of the adults that you have become. The bravery and compassion that you both exhibited by allowing her to be in her own home during her end of life journey thus passing with dignity and respect was an amazing gift that the two of you gave your mom.
Take Care and Remember to look toward the skies--you will feel her presence and know that she is watching over you.
Love,
Aunt Rhonda

Well what can I say, except Margaret was my sister and I love her very much. I shall miss not having someone to call late a night (well it was in England) and moan to about my day at work or just life in general and then we would catch up on all the gossip from both sides of the world. I spent many years coming over to Huntington and watching the family grow up and seeing how Margaret's life progressed that it almost felt like my "second home" and still will be as long as my family and friends are there. I know that Margaret was immensely proud of her children and everything they did and I too am extremely proud of you Ray Jnr. and Farrah on how you are getting through this really sad time with such maturity even though your hearts must be breaking.
Margaret was a kind person and even though, as sisters do, we had our fights (usually because we both thought we were right!!) she was always there for me when things went wrong I already miss her so much but she will remain in my heart forever. One day, I know I will meet up with Margaret, my sister Carol and Mum and Dad again in Heaven and for sure there will certainly be some catching up to do then!!!
I love and miss you Margaret.
Your sister Doreen xxx

Hey Farrah,
I was thinking/praying for you the other day and out of no where remembered something I hadn't thought about for years. Do you remember when we were in elem. school and I went with you and your parents to Harris Riverfront Park for either a concert/regatta/fireworks, something of that nature, and out of no where a down pour came and just about drowned all of us. We never got to see what we went there for and your mom was cracking me up because she was wearing a white shirt and she was soaked. I just remember walking what seemed for miles in the pouring rain with you and your family. Don't ask me why I remembered that, but it came to mind and I just started laughing and had to share it with you. I hope you're doing well, and I'll keep you in my prayers.
Denise

Margaret Anne Adkins was one of the most generous, wonderful persons I've had the privilege of knowing in my life. In a time in my life when I felt as though I had no family, Margaret took me in and literally would treat me as one of her own children; inviting me to Sunday dinners, holiday parties, etc. I will never forget how she was there for me when my own mother was not, and during such a difficult time in my life she showed me a mother's love that will never be forgotten.
I have so many stories I would love to share, but I will share one my favorite memories of Margaret. I believe this took place in the Spring of 2007. Farrah and I had come to Huntington for a visit. The Sunday that we were leaving to go back home, I went to visit Margaret before we left for NC. Farrah was busy helping Margaret with some random chore or cleaning, so Margaret asked me if I would take her down to the Lavalette Nursery to pick up "a few flowers." I remember we spent the better part of 3 hours picking out flowers for her house and for mine as well. It was so funny because Margaret kept changing her mind and asking my opinion of what flowers she should plant, also she would then go find an employee to grab this hanging basket or that hanging basket and have them hold it for her so she could visualize it hanging at her house. We had such a great time that day, and just enjoyed each other's company. This particular visit was so special to me because it was one of the few times Margaret actually asked me to help her, by driving her to the nursery, because she had been too sick to drive herself. Despite her health not being 100%, we just had the most joyful time, surrounded by the beautiful flowers and talking about the past, present and future. I should also mention that a "few flowers" to Margaret turned into her Blazer being jam packed w/ flats, hanging baskets and the like! Very funny!
Although Margaret was not related to me by blood, I have always considered her as another mother figure in my life, asking her for advice, sharing stories, etc. Margaret is and always will be in my heart with beautiful memories filled with love.
I know without a doubt that Margaret will always live on in her fabulous children, her adorable, beautiful granddaughter; and many more generations to come. I also know she will be remembered for the beautiful, generous and amazing human being she was - not only to me, but to so many lives that she touched in the time she spent on this earth.
I love you Margaret, and I will miss you always.

Margaret was one of my very BEST FRIENDS and I will miss her terribly. She was such a wonderful person, and no matter what life threw at her she always had a smile on her face. She was so very proud of her family, and talked about you all so much that I feel like I have known you forever even though we never met until now. I am comforted by knowing that I will see Margaret again someday, and when I do, I know that she will have the same beautiful smile she always had, and never again will that smile fade. I pray that this thought brings comfort to you as well. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
