Guyla was a joyous person in my life during my college years with her daughter, Carmen. She opened her home and her arms to me more times than I can even remember. She will be missed.

Guyla certainly was our "friend". Always looking on the positive side of life with a wonderful sense of humor. We will never forget her kindness to us when we first came to Blue Springs Assembly of God Church. Guyla as well as Bob was always willing to do anything to help in the church when ever a situation would arise. Without a doubt Guyla knew her Lord and Saviour and served Him well throughout her life. Guyla was ready when the Lord called her "Home" . We will miss her here on earth. But, waiting until we will once again join together with her for ALL eternity, and "What A Day That Will Be". May the Lord keep His hand upon Bob and each one of their children & precious grandchildren.
Our Love & prayers to the family,
