  1. On January 03, 2017, Margaret Louise Thompson, 87, of Dallas, GA went home to be with Jesus. She was a heart patient at Gentiva Hospice in Columbus, GA when the Lord called her home.



    Margaret was born April 13, 1929 in Buford, GA to the late Fred and Flora (Overby) Bennett. She was preceded in death by her husband Forrest Hoke Thompson of Talladega, AL in 2014.



    Margaret is survived by her daughter, Sheila Ann Ragsdale and son-in-law, Russ; granddaughter Michelle Lawler and husband Bo, great grandson Rob Lawler and wife Jessica, great, great granddaughter Aiden; great granddaughter Melissa Lawler; granddaughter Deanne Tate, great granddaughter Jessy Tate; half brother Lanny Bennett and wife Janice; half sisters Teri Cofer and Larita Parks and her husband Charles.



    Margaret grew up in Buford, GA where at a young age, she became a Christian. A few years later, she met Forrest, the love of her life and her husband of 67 years. She devoted her life to her family and to being a disciple of Jesus Christ through her church and various Christian organizations such as; CBN Ministries in Atlanta, and later, Helping Hands of Paulding County.



    Margaret was the Director of Helping Hands in Paulding County for 14 years and was a member of Mount Paran Church of God in Atlanta, GA. Her ministry in life was to love and help people find salvation through Jesus Christ.



    After retiring from Helping Hands at the age of 72, she continued her ministry of love by praying for and being a blessing to her family and everyone she encountered. Up unto her final hours, she was uplifting those around her with her sweet smile, encouraging words and lilting laugh.



    Margaret will be missed by all that knew her, and by faith, we know she has reached Heaven, the primary goal of her life.



    Visitation will be held at Clark’s Funeral Home in Dallas, GA on Friday, 01/06/17 at 6:00 p.m., and her life’s celebration will be held at Celebration Church of God in Dallas, GA on Saturday, 01/07/17 at 2:00 p.m.

  2. Where would I be able to find a list of non-profit groups here in Paulding? I am working on a project and would like to contact some of the ones who would fit the type of organizations I am looking for to help with this project. Just not sure where to start.

     

    I know some are members here, but I can't look it up and get a list like I can CM members. Where do I start to find these groups?

  3. we usually get a family that has contacted the church & try to help ...

     

     

    I would contact Paulding Collaborative @ 770-443-1660. They coordinate The Paulding Holiday Program’s and have applications from hundreds of family’s in need of assistance. The program was set up to ensure all families in need are served and to avoid duplication of services. This also lessens the risk of being taken advantage of because the applicant’s information has been verified. There are so many families to choose from that you can specify exactly the age group and family situation you prefer.

  4. Have you contacted a *good* attorney?  A large law firm will assign you an attorney with little experience while an older more experienced attorney with in the firm will oversee the case.

     

    I had a consultation with one attorney. He charged $75 dollars for the consult, told me the price for a non contested divorce is $500, contested is $2500 and has to be paid in advance. I tried to explain how concerned I am about overnight visitation. I guess I wanted him to acknowledge my fears and tell me that he would fight for the best interest of my baby. Instead he told me that I needed to work out the terms with my ex and he would draw up the paper work.

  5. Its a lot better if you can hammer these things out between you guys.  I also understand that some people just wont ever agree.

     

    Best of luck.

     

    I agree that we should work it out between us. I do not have the funds to go through a contested divorce. We have a 4 month old who my ex has only seen a few times. He doesn’t know anything about her life and does not call to ask how she is doing. He has no interest in her other than to torture me by telling me that if I file for divorce and get child support he will get her every other weekend. Over-night visits would be traumatic for her because she doesn't know him.
