I will miss Marilyn greatly. I loved to talk to her at family parties. She always had a great story or a thoughtful word of advice. And she made me laugh a lot! Praying you all are comforted by God’s Holy Spirit and friends and loved ones at this time and always.
We all love you and miss you Marilyn. Please rest in peace and enjoy your eternal life
with your husband, Dennis.
We will all miss you so much. I am so blessed to know you, because you always made me feel so welcome, and I loved seeing your smiling face. Now you and your husband are in the loving arms of Jesus.
Momma, I’ve never known a more powerful & worldly woman to enter the Kingdom of God through her devotion to The Father, The Son & The Holy Spirit than you. Over my 67 years, you lived and taught me the gift of giving, of living fully & loving deeply, setting examples by devotion to all your dear family members and friends. I received so much by your example, and you loved me like no other! I felt that every single day of my life. ✝️💟✝️
YOU ARE TRULY THE EXAMPLE OF ALL THAT IS GENEROUS, KIND and DEVOUT.
Rest Now Momma, and Glow in the LIGHT OF GOD for All Eternity ✝️
