WE LOVE YOU MARVIN We PRAISE God for you. Your LIFE we all valued. You touched us all in a special way. To know you is to love you every day. Your neat sense of humor touched us all. Your chuckle we adored whenever we'd call. Your life quietly lived as you did persevere. Dedicated in responsibilities and sincere. You served our country, job well done. Secured missions faithfully you did run. Whatever you set out to do, You put your heart in and followed through. You never had to have fortune and fame. Remaining steadfast, strong, never a complain. You left us all a legacy of patience and endurance. Love and acceptance through each occurrence. Praise God from whom all BLESSINGS flow. Reached down to deliver you from your woe. You are now safe in Jesus arms. Free from affliction and all harm. You will be missed each day of our life. We rejoice with you freed from strife.

A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER Mother, now you have left us. You quietly left without a fuss. You bravely awaited for Jesus to call. Trusting in Him, you quietly left us all. You hung in there until you could no more. Now you are with our Lord forevermore. You blessed many lives of those you loved. You shared your talents & gifts from God above. You brought us up in God's Word so true. Teaching us to honor & obey God in all we do. We will always go about our lives in Thanksgiving. For our Mother, & her life and "upbringing." Now you are at peace and joy everlasting. No more suffering, struggling, but joy that is uplifting. For it is with Jesus where you have wanted to be. Yes, Mother you finally are at peace & heaven to see. Written by daughter Clara June 18, 2000 "I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. TO THE END OF TIME." Matt.28:20 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MY DAD Thank you precious God For my dad you gave to me. Patient and precious he was. Kind, gentle, loving eyes we could see. He loved so beautifully and quiet. Soft spoken, & understanding. The look of love in his eyes. Respectfully he was guiding. He could work so well with his hands. Sharp minded math skills alive. Took pride in all he did so well. One followed his lead and thrived. He had a kind and beautiful heart. Friends & family were special to him. Christ was number one in his life. He read the bible, & sang many a hymn. His life was spent helping others daily. Reading & visiting he enjoyed doing. Went about daily tasks with relaxation. Diligently working with thanksgiving. He lived his life with integrity. With fortitude, trusting in God. Met His Lord and Savior in 1957. For my Dad I Thank & Praise my God! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Written with Love by~ Clara ~~~~~~~~~~~~
