To the Sutton Family,

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you at the Homegoing of Sister Marva Sutton. During my years of direting the choirs at Triedstone she would always come up to me and encourage me. Oh how I remember Sisters Birdie, Hattie and Marva would come to church with them pretty hats on and I would always tease all of them. All of you are in my prayers!

Dearest Elizabeth, Weldon and the Sutton and Fields Family:

I was truly saddened to learn of the passing of Marva Ann. She was a fun-loving individual; we enjoyed alot of laughs together when we journeyed with her and her club some years ago. She was a child of God, I know that because we all attended the same church years ago and her journey with God never waivered. May beautiful memories of Marva Ann lessen the sadness you feel with each passing day. May God continue to be your strength; he will be there to comfort you.

FROM SOMEONE WHO CARES!!

I ask God to give you comfort, and peace. When times get low, remember the happy times Marva brought into your lives and choose to celebrate!

All of my help comes from the Lord, was my favorite song that Marva sang when she was in "The Voices".
