My deepest sympathies to the Adams´s families of Bob and Albert. It is never easy to close the chapter of a family member´s life on earth. But Marion will rest eternally in God´s loving arms. I am a cousin who moved away almost 60 years ago but I know Marion knew the love of her brothers. May her memory always be a blessing to you both.

May my cousin, Marion, rest in eternal peace. I remember how deeply my late Aunt Ethel, Marion's Mom, loved her daughter. When Marion was born my Aunt Ethel held her in her arms so tenderly. She thought she was the most beautiful baby in the world and, of course, in her Mother's heart, Marion was, indeed, the most beautiful baby in the world. My Aunt Ethel loved her daughter until her last breath on earth. Now, I am so happy to think that "little Marion" is now back in the arms of her loving Mother. They will be together forever----no more tears, no more separations. May the Lord bless both of their souls.
