We were blessed to have Margaret and Gary minister to us for about three years at Cornerstone Community Church in Almonte. Together they were quite a team with Margaret &&single&&s musical abilities and lots of behind-the-scenes work forming an integral part of their joint ministry. She will be missed by the extended Priddle family.
Our condolences to the extended Landers family. We love you all. Special love and blessings to Pastor Gary.

I did not have the privilege of meeting Margaret. But in knowing Sonya and the amazingly strong woman she is, I feel I have seen Margaret. The service yesterday was a beautiful celebration of an amazing woman and family. I pray that your memories, the love you share and the presence of each other will comfort you in the times to come. Grief comes in waves, sometimes gently at the shore and sometimes in tidal waves. Hold on tightly to your memories and each other and ride whatever the wave brings, knowing she is with you.

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Margaret, I have had the pleasure of knowing her daughter Stephanie for quite some time. The strong will and family values that Stephanie posses must have come from someone and I can only assume that it was from her mother.
Thoughts and prayers to the family and please accept our deepest condolences.

I didn’t get to meet either of you in person but I was told about you from your proud daughter Sonya. Even though you all walk this valley road, KNOW that Jesus walks with you. Watch for HIM. Allow yourselves to take the time to be pastored by those around you. Even a pastor needs a pastor. Even a pastors family needs a pastor. Praying for you all to be lifted up. ❤️ Mike and Trish Triebner (Woodstock)
