Jennifer,Diane,Jonathan,Cynthia,Ken & Billy and families, I am so sorry about Aunt Marilyn’s passing. Our only comfort is knowing she is with Jesus where she feels no pain and is in her eternal body that is perfect. We will miss her joyful personality and awesome unending smile. I wish I could be with you all now and over the next few days for the funeral. I was scheduled to travel tomorrow but today I woke up with the flu. (I don’t think you want me to “share”…) Tomorrow we are expecting a very large storm as well so I will delay my trip to visit you until sometime after the the new year. Know that we are all there with you in spirit and will be praying for all of you as you greive. God’s blessings and comfort, Amy, David, Zachary & Jenna
