April 22, 2019 at 5:46 pmDear Family… so many memories flood my mind and tears come to my eyes and a lump to my throat but I am so thankful that the way of God just gets sweeter and sweeter and means more and more to us as we near the finish line. So grateful that Aunt Marilyn crossed that finish line victorious.
Deep love,
Mary Anderson and family

April 23, 2019 at 5:43 pmSo very sorry to hear that Marilyn lost the fight but you all got to know Uncle Phil is one happy man to have her home. I will surely miss Phil and Mary very much they really did alot for me when I was young – loved them and I know that they loved me.
This is to the family my deepest sympathy and just know that I will be with you all on Saturday but my situation I just can’t it and I deeply sadden because of not being there for you all. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
Miss you all.

HEARTFELT sympathy to you children
My love. Gloria
