    I am a big fan of gospel music. I have a dvd that I play over and over again with a lot of the old school group singers. Ms. Margret is one of them singing and testifying in Touch Me Lord Jesus.I had no ideal she had past until 2 days ago. I really love her singing and she will truly be missed but God needed her most. Rest in Peace and sing up in heaven for your Master.
