Three years have passed, but we still hold Marla in our hearts and think of her often. Wether it's her great pumpkin pie or seeing the annual cabbage to saurkraut event, we still find her touch on our everyday lives.

Very sorry to hear of Marla passing, she was a sweet person. She will rest in peace. Sorry but we were unable to attend the services.

Tom and family,

I am so sad to hear of Marla´s passing. I think of her often when I look at the barbed wire cross that she made that I inherited from my Mom. Keep your wonderful memories close! Hugs to all of you.

We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers at this time of loss. She was a free spirit that God has now claimed and made her whole again and for that we are grateful. Loss is great, but her service to us all was forever held in our arms.

We are so sorry for your great loss. While she has left us way to soon, we are also thankful that God has given her the wings she so deserves. Marla was a loving, caring, sharing and talented neighbour here in Yuma and we will miss her dearly. Sending prayers and hugs for all the family.
