Marilyn will be missed dearly. I think often of the many, many conversations we have had and can't help to see her laughing. She was a good woman and the memories are something that will last forever. May God Bless and comfort you all in this time.

Patty & Kathy, I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you and all of your family. I know that it hasn't been the easiest of times this year. I know that God will give you peace. He will take very good care of Marilyn. She is in his arms. She will never be sick again and will be an angel looking out for all of you. Both she and Angelo are always there. This isn't a goodbye because God promises us that if we believe and trust in him that we too will have everlasting life. When he calls us home, all of our loved ones that went before us, will be there waiting with open arms. God bless all of you during this time and always.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
