Hello Brother Jerry,
So sorry about your loss of your Mom. Our faith is her sight. She sees who we hope to see. She has seen Jesus.
Soon, you will see her and Him. Resurrection is reality. God is good.
May God bless you now, and always, in all ways. I love you, my friend.
Grace and peace, Jeff Winfrey
I grew up believing that Marilyn was a cousin and was always confused that she wasn’t included in our Easter girls’ picture. Finally her mother, whom I adored, explained it to me and I discovered it made no difference; she was my cousin. A favorite memory was her New Years Eve parties. All the teenagers came and sang, danced and ate the night away. She always was full of joy and had a nice word for me. I will miss her.
So sorry for your loss your mother was a wonderful woman
When I think of Marilyn The first word that comes to mind is precious. She was one of the sweetest most gracious ladies I have ever met in my entire life . She was one of those rare people that you meet in your life that make you want to be the best person you can be. Marilyn Will always have a special place in my heart because she touched me so deeply. I truly feel honored to have had the opportunity of meeting her during her journey here. I have no doubt the Lord has a very special place set aside for her in heaven.
RIP Sweet cousin, You will be missed dearly. Don & Barbara Phariss
Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen,unheard,but always near,
Still loved,still missed and always dear.
We received our Chritmas card back and discovered that our dear neighbor has gone home to the Lord. Our sincerest condolences to all of her family. We loved being across the street from her and Don.
Wishing you the blessings of the season,
Jim and Becky Hansen
