I just loved Marilyn’s friendship which began in the late 1960s. We had so much fun and got into some trouble which we laughed about later. I’m so grateful for her and the memories. And what a blessing her family has been to her!

You were my confidant, one of my best friends and I already miss you so much. It's hard to go on, but I will and I'll see you when it's my turn. Give mama a hug from me! Love forever.

You will be missed Pug. We played basketball together in grade school, went our separate ways in high school and reconnected and became BFF again in the mid 2000s. On my trips to KCK we shared the love of soccer by watching your granddaughters play; taking my Dad to lunch and reminiscing about our lives and cherishing our times together. I will miss our conversations but you’ll always have a special place and live on in my heart,

Farewell and Godspeed, my sweet cousin. This world is a bit sadder place for now without your love of family and your fidelity. You and your sweet sisters were always so kind and attentive to my dad, your Uncle John. There is a welcoming home in heaven for you. Please say hello for me to my mom and dad , and maybe put in a good word for us down here. Brooks

A Tribute to Marilyn We walked the halls of school together, And filled those youthful days with song; We could not know where life would lead us, Or how the years would move along. But Marilyn met each changing season With steady faith and courage strong; And through the joys and through the trials, Her heart kept singing heaven’s song. Chorus They rise and call her blessed— The ones she loved so well; Her life became a testimony More beautiful than words can tell. A daughter, four granddaughters, And a great-grandchild now too— They rise and call her blessed, For her love was strong and true. A single mother, brave and faithful, She raised her daughter on her own; Through sacrifice and years of labor, She built with love a Christian home. She worked so hard and gave so freely, With strength that came from God above; Then poured into her grandchildren The riches of a grandmother’s love. Chorus They rise and call her blessed— The ones she loved so well; Her life became a testimony More beautiful than words can tell. A daughter, four granddaughters, And a great-grandchild now too— They rise and call her blessed, For her love was strong and true. She had a smile that warmed a gathering, A personality shining bright; A musician whose songs brought gladness, A Christian walking in the light. Her faith was more than words on Sunday; She lived it every single day. And those who knew and loved her dearly Could see her Savior in her way. Now heaven holds another singer, Her earthly work and trials are through; The Lord she trusted stands beside her, And every promise now is true. Though those she loved will deeply miss her, Her faithful influence will remain; For love like hers is never silenced— It echoes like a sweet refrain. Final Chorus They rise and call her blessed— Her family, one and all; They carry on the faith she gave them And the love they still recall. A daughter, four granddaughters, And a great-grandchild now too— They rise and call her blessed, For she showed them Christ was true. “Her children arise up, and call her blessed.” —Proverbs 31:28, KJV
