Rhonda and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom passing. She was as much a mom could have been to me when I was growing up. As I write this, I try to fight back tears thinking of all the fun times we had. I wouldn't be the woman I am today without you and your mother in my life. I will miss her dearly.

Rhonda and Kevin, I know these last few weeks have been extremely difficult for your whole family, but I have also heard you share some very special stories that took place towards the end of Marilyn's life-This is a joy that only those who trust in Jesus as their savior can understand. The greatest comfort we have as believers is in knowing that death does not have the final word- Jesus does!
Jesus said, John 11:25-26
"I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die like everyone else, will live again. 26 They are given eternal life for believing in me and will never perish. I know that Marilyn believed this. Rhonda- you will see your mom again!
The Stout family- we love you guys!

Rhonda.. I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful mom. She was truly one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of ever meeting. John and I saw her not long ago and she was so excited that you had just moved into your new home. She always loved to talk about her family. I know she will truly be missed.

To the best sister, Marilyn, I will always remember our childhood and all the fun and hard work we shared on the farm in Audubon County, Iowa. Our entire childhood was God, work, family, church, work, school, work, etc. and we loved life. Even as adults we shared so many California memories with the beach, Food, lots of food, Rook at Mom and Dad's patio, and all our kids. We are now together again, in Heaven, praising our Heavenly Father and enjoying the presense of Jesus. I will always love you, Mert
