A sincere message for Marilyn's Sons and Grandchildren;

My heart was broken when I learned that Marilyn had passed away. I had just visited her and hoped to see her again soon. She was a very special person who truly loved her God, her family, her friends, and her neighbor. I feel privileged to have known her as a friend & spiritual sister. I look forward to the day when we will see each other again in "the Paradise" & she will be healthy & happy (Isa.33:24). She would be happy to see you all there, too.

My deepest sympathies to the family of Sis. Marylin Penick. She was a loving person and set an example of faith despite challenges.

May the "God of all comfort" continue to support you until Marilyn and all other loved ones now asleep in death will stand again. (2. Cor. 1:4)
