This is me. 
Born as Margaret Lee Lunsford.
May 3, 1961
​@ Sulphur Springs, TX, Hopkins County, USA
To parents, B.N. Lunsford & Pauline Rosie Greer Lunsford.

Married to become Mrs. Rick McCoy.
September 5, 1980
@ Richland Baptist Church, Brinker Community, Sulphur Springs, TX, Hopkins County, USA

Now a widow - Margaret McCoy
- since April 23, 2015.


​Life didn't turn out like I had dreamed it would, nor like I had planned for it to.
Rick and I were supposed to grow old together.
Instead, here I am - growing older alone, without my Sweetheart ... while he will forever remain 55. 

I am a blessed woman - knowing that I was Rick's true and only love, knowing that I was his "Megan", his "Meg", his "Sunny".  
I am blessed with 2 wonderful kids
- who although they do not always agree, nor understand their Momma
- they love me with a passion. 

I am blessed with 4 "perfect" grandkids.
- Smart and kind.
- Filled with compassion and understanding far beyond their years. 

I am blessed with extended family. 
And blessed with friends around the globe. 
So, although life didn't turn out the way I thought it would
- I must say, it is a good life, and I am a blessed woman. 


The day that Rick died, I promised to breathe in and breathe out
- to press forward, never giving up, never quitting.
To learn this life, to live this life. 

It has proven to be the most difficult promise to keep
- thru the long and dark nights,
- in the times when I miss arms around me holding me tight.
But - I stand firm in the promise made.
And I will continue to breathe. 


I have a love and growing fascination with genealogy.
I put it aside for many years while being Rick's full time caregiver.
And once he died, I honestly cared nothing to get back to my "roots".
But as I am learning to live with the grief
- I find that the passion to dig, to find my roots, as well as my wings, is still there. 

I know that this is not just for me.
I hope that one day my children and grandchildren will come across this information and cherish it.
That they will see where they have come from
- and in some small way that it will guide them to where they should go. 


I am looking forward to finding these hidden treasures of my roots
Hopefully will meet some new family members along the way.
And will join forces with others who have a like passion
- so that friendships will be formed and they will stretch and grow far beyond the lines of genealogy. 


If you have any ideas or suggestions for these pages
- please, do not hesitate to contact me. 
If you have information that can be added to our tree, Memories & Moments, please share.

Thank you!!!

    Let's Go! 

    Here I am again - 
    delving into our history, 
    chasing our legacy, 
    searching the records for stories and pictures. 
    Pressing for accuracy and documentation. 
    And getting lost😛😛😛 - 
    but it's what I do ... 
    and I love it!

​
God is God over the storms in my life & world -
and I am His.
Trusting in Him. Holding to His Promises as He holds me.

​
Learning to laugh, to love, & to live ... again - without Rick, but with God

Life goes on ... even when we don't want it to.

Great grief is indicative of a great Love.

Rick, my Sweetheart.
Margaret, his Beloved.
Always & Forever.
