Marilyn Yvonne "Grammy" Dukes

Marilyn,
You are miss by my family, I enjoyed talking to you about every day life. You was an encourager, instead of a complainer. YOU always seen the good in a person. Never had a bad thing to say about anybody, even if they had wrong you. God knew you was one of his special children from heaven. I miss seeing you working with the children on the 3rd Sunday (Youth Ushers). And to the family I say look to the hills for strength from God our Saviour." Thou hast put away mine...

Marilyn,(girlfriend), to describe you I would use the following scritpure: A friend loveth at all times. (Proverbs 17:17)

I remember our conversation not knowing it would be our last. We talked about our past, growing up together, shared many laughs, and how thankful we were to have our husbands, children, and our families. We talked about how God was the head of our lives and how we truly trust Him with our future. I was devastated to learn you had departed this life, knowing...

Marilyn, thank God for having the oportunity of knowing you and your family. I remember when you and Mrs. Stewart would come by and visit. You and my daughter shopped for prom dresses together, picking the same color but different style dresses. I really enjoyed laughing and talking with you. There was no one like you.

I would like to encourage the family to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding.
(Proverbs 3:5)

I remember Marilyn so well, because she and my sister were inseperable growing up. Marilyn spent a lot of time at our house and was like part of the family. They both dressed alike, double dated, and both married high school sweethearts with the same name.

To the family, I want to encourage you to look to the hills from which cometh your help. Your help comes from the Lord that made heaven and earth.

We miss you and it has only been a few weeks, since you left us. We know you are with the Lord. This makes your leaving so much more bearable. We are tearful as we write this message to leave with Walt and the children, but we know you will suffer no more. We love you.

Dear gram thank you for everything that you taught us. Like treating everyone the same even though they are different than others. Thank you for teaching us not to make fun of those differences. And we would like to say thank you for loving us like your own kids. Because you did not have to love like you like you did. And we also loved you like you were our own mother. And we miss you gram. we both want to take this time just say we love you and thank you for all the good things you have done...

Mrs. Marilyn Dukes

I come to you today with a strong mind but a weak heart just knowing that your gone. You may not know how much you meant to so many people but I can only speak for me. You were like the Aunt I never had, but that everyone needs. I guess that’s why I never could call you "Mrs. Dukes" because to me you were so much more. I feel blessed just because I had the chance to have you in my life and I miss you because who you were. But I’m happy because where you are....
