Margaret’s Story

Site created on March 12, 2018

Dear Friends and Family - Margaret was diagnosed with Stage 4 Kidney Cancer in late February.  At first she thought it was just kidney stones, then the dr. did a CT scan and found a 12cm mass attached to her kidney and adrenal glands. This site is being set up so there is one place for communication and updates. Margaret will not be able to communicate with everyone during the surgery and recovery process, so please follow her story here. Thank you all for your love and support for Margaret - it's this love and support that will help her through this difficult point in her life. ~ The Potters

Thank you all for your support, prayers, good thoughts, kindness and love during Margaret's journey with cancer. I don't think she could've asked for a better group of people to surround her in her life. We've heard many kind words from many of you and we are so appreciative. She really did love you all, and you all were so important to her life.

As we gather tomorrow, we will send love to all of you from far away that cannot be here. You will be missed. If you'd like a copy of the bulletin or sermon, I can email or mail you a copy. Just give me your email address or home mailing address.

Please share your wonderful memories with us, they really do help our hearts to heal. You can email me at tnmpotter@hotmail.com and I will be sure to pass along to the family. If you'd like to mail anything, here is Mike's address:

Our family has felt all of your love this past year and a half and it has meant everything to Margaret and the rest of the family.
All our love ~ The Potter Family
