I am thankful to have had the privilege of working with Marilyn and being her pastor. Linda and I had many good times visiting Marilyn and Tommy and playing a friendly game of cards. My prayers are with you Tommy and the family. We mourn your loss yet celebrate that Marilyn in in the presence of her Savior and fully restored in health. May God grant you all His peace and comfort.

Cindi and I will miss our dear friend and sister in Christ, Marilyn. We rejoice, however, that she is now with our Lord Jesus Christ and that we will see her again. We pray that the grace, mercy, and love of our Father will comfort and strengthen Tommy and all of the family. "For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living" (Romans 14:7-9).

Aunt Marilyn spent most of her life preparing for the destination that she has now arrived at. The Lord that she loved and served; she now sits at His feet. No more hurt, no more pain... just pure sweet love surrounds her now. While here on this earth, she laid out for us all, in the way that she lived out her Christian faith, the road map for us to follow. I'll see you again my beloved aunt and friend.... mike brown
