Marlin, Pam and Wiley- Your mom (and dad) provided strong parental guidance throughout your lives. And even though they are not physically present, their everlasting impact on your lives will live on through you, your children and your grandchildren. Our prayers are with you as you adjust to this change in your life where you are now the oldest generation of the family and without the lifelong support you've enjoyed from a parent. It takes a while to get used to the idea that you are now an orphan- but you still have each other!
