I will miss seeing Marva at the end of the dinner table as I sat with my Grandmother at Robin Run. She was such a delight and always smiling. Her face would light up when she saw me and it would really light up when she would tell me that Andrea was home. May God continue to bless you!

My heart was sad when I got the news about Marva but I know that God is in control of all things and he knows when we have stood all we can so he comes to release us from all the pains of this physical body. I will miss Marva's sense of humor and the glint in her eye when she and I talked girl talk. I will keep you guys in my prayer as you go through this breavement period.
