We have been requested to provide as much support for the family and friends of SP4 Margaret M. Ragone as is possible on short notice. The arrangements are being managed by the F. Ruggiero and Sons Funeral Home, 732 Yonkers Ave, Yonkers, NY 914-375-1400
The schedule is as follows:
- Calling hours for family and friends will be held Thursday (7/24) and Friday (7/25) from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m.
- The Funeral Service is Saturday (7/26) 12:00 noon at the funeral home with interment following at Rose Hills Memorial Park, Putnam Valley, NY.
We will provide a flag line for Thursday and Friday evening calling hours so I am requesting anyone who can participate between 7:00 and 9:00 PM either or both evenings to let me know ASAP. We have also been asked to provide a flag line prior to the service and escort the funeral procession to the cemetery in Putnam Valley. It will be a police escorted procession.
The tentative itinerary for the mission:
- Thursday 7/24 and Friday 7/25 - Stage at the funeral home at 6:45 PM to set up the flag line. It is OK if you can only join for part of the calling hours. Your support is greatly appreciated.
- Saturday 7/26 - Final staging will be at the funeral home at 11:30 AM
Region 7 Upper Westchester/Putnam - Stage at DD1 (Rt 202 in Yorktown Heights) at 10:45 AM with KSU at 11:00 AM Sat, 7/26
Region 7 Lower Westchester - Stage directly at the funeral home at 11:30 AM Sat, 7/26
NY Region RCs, please post your staging information.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SP4 Margaret M. Ragone, Army Veteran. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your loved one was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Margaret.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
She hoped her shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as her brass.
"Step forward now,soldier.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared her shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unwomanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of her God.
"Step forward now,soldier
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."
Paul E. Babb Sr.
Riding loud and proud......But standing tall and silent...........for the American Hero.
