To my Classmate Randy and Family and yes Marilyn was my Classmate and cousin also, sorry for your lost,I would leave these words of comfort with the Family. Everyone wants to go to heaven, some just dont't know the way. But Jesus tells us in John 14 that,"I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me. "We are all travelers on a road called life. There are many detours and many side streets. We don't need to be confused- we don't need to be lost. All we need to do is follow Jesus. He will show us the way- in fact He is the way. He will lead us and He will guide us. That's comforting. I can hear Marilyn saying right now, I've got a mansion, just over the hilltop,In that bright land where I will never grow old; And some day yonder; I'll never more wonder,But walk the streets of purest gold. Just hold on Family to God unchanging hands, For his words says, That weeping may endureth for a night but joy comes in the morning, may god bless you family and keep you is my humble prayer.

Words cannot express what I am feeling right now. I could say that you were wonderful, beautiful and kind but that isn't good enough nor would reach the mark. You were like a mother, a true friend, a confidant and an adviser to me. The epitome of a Titus 2 woman. You will ever live within my heart and I thank you for all of the sacrifices you made for me throughout these 38 years.
I pray that the strength and comfort of The Lord lighten the pain and see us through this trying time!
With all my love,
Ernestine Taplin

We will never know the hour, but we do know God calls His children home when their work is done on this earth. Mrs. Marilyn was definitely a woman of strength and a strong woman. To the family, God will comfort those who mourn. She may be gone physically, but her spirit will forever live through you. God bless.
