Aunt Morag you will be sorely missed. You were such a lovely lady. I’ve been so lucky to have an aunt like you. You could brighten up any room with your infectious smile. You had a special relationship with mum, and she will miss you dearly. Our thoughts are of you being by uncle Ross’s side once again, and this helps with our grief. God bless my aunt and take her into your care. ❤️ David.
We thank the Lord for the rich blessing he gave to our family for giving us Morag, a beautiful sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Her kindness, love and joy will always be held in our hearts. It brings us great peace knowing she is at home with the Lord.
Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. Sarah Morag will be missed by family and church friends, rest now.
