To the Mullins Family - I lost my mom less than 1 month ago due to cancer. I found comfort in this poem. I hope you also find comfort in this poem during this difficult time.

Come Along With Me

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you, and whispered, "Come along with me." With tearful eyes we watched you slowly fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we knew you couldn't stay. A golden heart stopped beating, working hands were put to rest. God broke my heart to prove to us, he only takes the best.

I'm Darla's fiance's sister. I brought Matt to see his aunt Marilyn at the hospital just before she passed. I didn't know Marilyn, but I have heard so many wonderful things about her. I want to let her children and husband know how much others loved her and how much she was appreciated and admired.

I am Ashleigh Anne, Maw Maw's first granddaughter. What I will remember most about my grandmother is her giggle and playfulness, even when she was not feeling well. I treasure the pictures we took prom night, and I am happy she is healthy again with the Lord.

Mullins Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I never met Marilyn but felt like I knew her after hearing Mary talk about what a great lady she was. She sounded like an incrediable woman. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
