Von and Katrina, I am so sorry for your loss. Words can not express the loss that I feel.Marian and I remained friends over the years even tho we were x sister in laws. We kept in touch with graduations, visits and phone conversations. Marian was my seamtress my reciepe person my confidant... I know how she loved hsr grands she spoke of them with a glow in her eyes. Girls stay strong in Gods word and he will see you through, gone too soon but God had other plans for her. I am here if you need me for anything you know how to reach me. I know she is celebrating with our Lord and Savior.

In our memories of Marian, we shall always remember her quite sweet spirit, concern for others, beautiful smile, laughter, perseverance and love.  Jim and I pray that God's comfort and peace will encamp around the family and strengthen you.  Reflect on how good she was to you all and the many lives she touched.

Voncille and Katrina, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and will be praying for you two and the rest of the family in hopes God will give you all the strength and peace you need.  I haven't seen her since 2008, but I cherish the last time I saw her and her mother.  I have a picture of her Mom and my grandson that I cherish a lot.  We had very nice conversations and she shared some of the family pictures with me.  I know she has found her way into heaven and hopefully that gives you some comfort.  I truly wish we could have been there today, but we are there in spirit and love. I will try and make sure my Dad, Robert Charles, gets to see this website as well.

God Bless,
Your cousin

Mom as I use to call her was a wonderful woman, her smile, her kind words and her way of making you feel like one of the family was so special. I remember the seamstress and her great creations. We team worked the kitchen at one of Von's recent events and I could not get her to sit down, she always had her hands to work and wanted to make it easier for everyone.  Her laughter was infectious and she always had a kind word to say.  I will miss her, but she will live on in her wonderful girls forever...ALL of them!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.... I will leave you with nice poem i found ... 

Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen, unheard, but always near
Still loved, still missed and very dear
