To All of the Marbold Family,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. I know that it seems like everything is crashing down upon you with the passing of both parents in such a short time, but please know that God loves you and He will give you strength and peace. I always enjoyed visiting with Lola when I could. She always had a way of making me laugh and feel good no matter what.
You children have many wonderful memories to cherish I am sure. God Bless you all and once again, you have my heartfelt sympathy.
