It seems almost impossible to think of our church life without Marilyn. She was such a faithful servant in so many areas, Choir,Sunday School, General Church boards and missions, Women's Ministry planning boards and committees, Circles Bible Studies and mission projects. Even a casual fellowship gathering just seemed 'complete' when Marilyn arrived.

In Christ, we are BestFriendsForever and will be in heaven all together some sweet day. So many of us have been serving along with her for so many many years, it's going to be tough. The same Jesus who is holding her close now, will be with each of us. ..and understand our tears. He too, lost a dear friend and wept.

In her honor we will humbly try to do our part to be inspired by her example and need to recruit a multitude of people to fill her shoes.
Prayers will continue for your family that she loved so dearly.
