I followed Marley's fight with cancer and prayed for you all during that season. A post about her popped up online today and I wanted to let you know that your precious girl is remembered. May the Peace of God fill your hearts when you think of dear Marley.

Sue and Frank,
Surfing old Naz news this morning and ran across this. My heart was pained as I visualized you walking through this valley at the earthly loss of your precious little one. Death leaves a void that cannot be replaced but love leaves a memory that cannot be erased.
Our love, Ron & Deb Perry

Our loss on Earth is heaven's gain. Marley's earthly life was too brief for us all, but we will never know how many people were touched and changed as they learned of your family's faith and courage through her illness. I pray that you will all find comfort in knowing that Marley's short life was a full life that has made a difference in the lives of so many. Our prayers will continue for your family in the days and weeks ahead.
Sincerely,

Marley and I became BFFs at the last Make-A-Wish Gala . It was the first time I met Marley and we were joined at the hip the whole night. Marley is a beautiful girl with an even more beautiful smile.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I have just prayed for your family. I don't know any of you, but what a beautiful little girl she is. May the God of all comfort comfort you in a way only He can do.

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

Marley will be missed and God Bless your entire family.

Brent & Nikki I don't know if you remember us but my son Dallas attended KC rehab when Marley was there. I remember her smile and the love you could see through it. Words can not take away your pain but as we all send our prayers out for you & your family I pray that God can help you through this time & know he has a new beautiful little angle beside him that is no longer suffering or in pain. Our prayers are with you & may you find comfort in God, family and friends. Sincerely, Nichole & Dallax.

My grandson and I had the privilege of meeting Marley when we walked 2 years ago in the Miles for Marley benefit. She was absolutely beautiful and touched my heart. My grandson was only 9 and just could not get her out of his mind as we walked along. I really could not find the words to explain what she was going through and still cannot understand it myself. All I can say is God has his reasons and we must accept them. Please know that my prayers are with Marley and with you and I will never forget her even though our meeting was brief. She made an imprint on my heart that will never be erased. God bless all of you and may he keep this beautiful angel close to his side.

Sorry to hear of her passing. My thought and prayers are with the family. I first heard about Marley from my sister when she was first diagnosed. Know she is free of pain now and may the memories of Marley bring smiles upon your faces.

Your battle is one that is terribly unfair, it seems so "one sided." Cancer knows no
boundaries. I know your little
Marley was a brave young
lady!She was so lucky to have a wonderful big sister and a
Mom and Dad who fought for
her!! You gave her strength
and the courage to fight!

We know your pain and heartache all to well.
Peace be with your family.
