Richard, David, lisa and Kendall,
Marilyn will always hold a special place in my heart as the person who taught me, as a Sunday School teacher, about God from my earliest memories. Her love of Jesus Christ had always shone through in her perpetual smile and that's how i'll always remember her.
My condolences for your loss and my prayers are with you.

To Marilyn's Family from her Cousin Barbara in the State of Washington: I'm sorry to lose my cousin and will miss the contact we've had. We shared many happy family memories from when we were children together at our Grandmother's and her home in Springfield with all the cousins. I'm so glad to have had such a nice visit with her and Richard in September when I was out there. She was looking forward then and it was a good family visit that will be a special memory forever. Best Regards.

Richard and family,
Surely Marilyn has been reveived into heaven by the Lord she loved so dearly. Her love and devotion to Him gave testimony to her Christian faith that was an example for others to emulate, and an encouragement as well... I count it a blessing that our paths crossed in this life. She remains an inspiration to us still.
May the God of all grace, mercy and peace bless you at this time of sorrow, and of course we continue remembering you in our prayers.
"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Cor. 15:57
