I honor Marlene as one of the most influential pastors in my life. She was a shining example of agape love, always pointing the congregation to the worship of Jesus and to revelation of the word of God. I am so grateful for her many prayers and encouragement. The truth I learned at her ministry formed the foundation for my 30 year marriage to another Christ follower. I’m blessed to know Marlene is in the presence of our King and I look forward to being in her company again in heaven. God bless all her lovely family. Love, Dee & Steve

Mama, it has nearly been a year now since we had to tell you goodbye, and it is still difficult to believe that you are gone. The pain of losing you is far more difficult though and really has not gotten much easier. To be honest, I've even put off writing this, because I didn't want to dig up the pain I feel when I think about you being gone. There is a connection between a mother and a son, like no other, especially when someone is blessed with such a caring, self-sacrificing, loving mother like you. You are absolutely irreplaceable and I will always hold you in a very special place in my heart that no one else can claim but you.

I am like you in so many ways and I am very grateful for that. God used you to shape who I am, and I am blessed to have had you as an example of love, compassion, integrity, and most of all, to love God above all else. I think about your example often when it comes to parenting, and seek to live up to the incredible standard you set. You set the bar pretty high though, and I often wonder how you did it.

Gabriel and Haleigh really love you and miss you. They really enjoy when we talk about you. In fact, one of their favorite songs is the one we played for your slideshow at the funeral (Heaven Song, by Phil Wickham), because it makes them think about you, but it also sometimes makes them cry. I am so grateful that God allowed you to live long enough to get to know them and spend several years with them. I do feel great pain though when I think about you not getting to see them grow up. I know you so dearly loved them and so treasured the time you got to spend with them.

Mama, I miss you so badly. I do find comfort though in knowing that you are with the Lord now. I am so glad that you are experiencing the eternal joy and peace of always being in the presence of the Lord. No more pain, no more sorrow. I look forward to the day when I get to be with you again, and experience the unimaginable joy of being with the Lord. Mama, I love you with all of my heart.

You were everything a mother should be. You were kind, patient, caring, loving, and most of all, mine. You took care of me from birth until you couldn't even take care of yourself. Even then, you worried for me, and prayed for me, and always checked up on me. You were the best mother anyone could ask for. You were such an integral part of my life, that I couldn't imagine life without you. Now that you're gone, I miss you every day. I wish that I could speak to you just one more time, just to tell you how much you mean to me. I will have you in my heart and mind forever. You made me the person that I am today, and I can never thank you enough for that. Mama, I will love you always.

Mama we knew your time was getting short. Something we all dreaded and not looking forward too. It came shorter than we thought. I am so glad we got 7 extra years with you. When we got the call that you were gone, it still shocked me. Of course, you never ready for something like that. Just can't seem to get over you not being here with us any more. I want to pick up the phone and call you, but you are not there. I am glad you are not suffering and having such a hard time breathing any more. I felt so bad for you. All we could do was pray. I guess we were just being selfish to want to keep you here with us, but God had other plans. Well, you are with Daddy, Mom and Pop, Steve, Kellyayn and Grandpa and all your other family. When I was sick and not feeling well, you would always say, Let me pray for you. I miss that and miss seeing you. Our lives are not the same. Things are so different without you here. I definitely understand when people say the good old days. They were good old days when everyone was still around. We have great memories. That is all we have left. I stay very sad inside. I will never forget you and Henrietta. Boy did we have lots of laughs about that. We all love and miss you very much. You have been such a big part of our lives. You will always be in our hearts. Until we meet again.

Mama,

Six months ago today you left us and went to Heaven. I can't even begin to tell you how much I miss you and all the great times we had together. I knew in my mind that one day I might lose you forever, but my heart would never allow me to believe it. I just didn't believe you would ever go. And even though it's been 6 months, I'm still having trouble believing and accepting it. You were always there for me no matter what and now you're gone and I'm having to go on without you.

What a fool I was the morning you left. You were in such terrible pain all night, that I was so happy and relieved that you were finally getting some much needed rest. I was just too dumb to realize that the rest you were getting was permanent and I would never be able to see or talk to you again. We would never again do anything together. You were gone. When I realized what happened, my heart broke. I was in disbelief. It couldn't be true, but it was.

So many times I've picked up the phone wanting to call and talk to you, just to realize you could never again answer my calls. I'll be outside and can't wait to come in to tell you stories about the babies that would make you laugh. But I can't because you're gone. I miss being able to talk to you about my day and about things going on. I miss being able to ask your advice about things. I just miss you so much. I still need and want you in my life, but all I have left are memories. I am thankful for all the great memories I have of you, but it's not the same as still having you in my life.

I know you are much better off being in Heaven, but I miss you anyway. I long to hug you and tell you I love you and talk to you again. I know that day will come and we will all be together again, but until it does, my heart aches and longs for you.

I miss you and I always will. There will never be a day that will come that I will say that I've gotten over losing you. Your were such a huge part of my life and I'll miss you forever. Mama, I love you very much and I always will.

So sorry for your loss. I believe this is Roger Andrus's daughter who I worked for 5 years and Dick Silver too. I had lost track of the family but remember the two girls coming into the office to see their Dad and Grandpa.

My Mother was a remarkable woman. She lived her life solely dedicated to the Lord and to helping others. If anyone was in need, she was always there to pray, encourage and do whatever she could to help. She loved the Lord with all her heart and by watching her life, there was no doubt that He came first. She was the most forgiving and loving person I have ever known and I'm not just saying that because I was blessed to have her as my mother. She was always there for her family and each and everyone of us knew we were loved by her. She always had a kind and encouraging word for others. When anyone needed her help she never said, "I'm too tired", "it's too late", "I'm too busy" or "I'm going through something much worse than you right now". She was an inspiration to all she met and all knew that she was a very special person. You were loved by many. Mama, I love and miss you so very much but I am a better person today because of you and I will always know how wonderfully the Lord blessed me by giving you to me as my awesome Mother and friend. You helped me through many difficult things and I will never forget you and I will always be thankful for the times we shared together. You were and are the BEST!!! Love you always.
