Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Margaret S. "Marge" Reading ,Thanks for being one of our greatest heroes. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow soldiers that stands for us everyday.Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend this great nation.
We salute you , My Friend
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.

To the family of Margaret Reading, I offer the heartfelt condolences of myself and my family. What a wonderful thing it must have been to be so close to someone who answered the call in times when there were no parades for returning warriors, only the satisfaction of knowing that a job was done to the best of her ability. You can be rightfully and righteously proud of loving and being loved by a person so capable of sacrifice for others.
Marge, go with God. I will never forget your service. I offer my prayer for fair skies and following breezes in all your journeys. |

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.
