Marjorie,
I always enjoyed our times together and was saddened to find you no longer here when I was able to return to Paradise to visit. I had not received word of your passing into our beloved Lord's hands and my search of local care homes proved fruitless until I went to your church and was given the news. your picture was taken down at the local clinic who, apparently is going the way of the world, being politically correct. I found a welcoming home for it at a local Methodist congregation, right in foyer as you enter the church, you would smile to see it there. Your funding assistance in my time of need was returned through your churches ministries for women and children which was in keeping with your works while you were able on this earth. Now you are blessed with our Lord`s presence, day and night, with Bert at your side, praising our Lord as you always have. Lord Bless you Marjorie and I am looking forward to meeting up with you again. Love Forever and Always,
Pattie Duke

Mom, I love you and miss you but I am so happy that you are in heaven with Jesus and Daddy and your other loved ones. I try to imagine what you are doing. I do know you will be hugging and hanging onto Jesus for all eternity. Your service was so beautiful today. You were honored and truly loved. I hope you were able to peek down from heaven and watch. I think you would be smiling. Bye, Mommy. See you soon, your daughter Teresa xoxo

I was very saddened to learn of Marjorie's passing.
Although I knew her for a short period of time, I felt as though I have known her for far longer than that. I remember her as a very loving, caring person who
was also a prayer warrior. Her vigilant prayers, support and friendship blessed my life in many ways.

She will be missed, although I know that I will see
her someday in heaven.
