  1. David, Paula, and family, we are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Though we only spent a few times with her, we know that she was a very kind and family loving lady. She enjoyed cooking and caring for her children, grandchildren, family and friends. Ryan said she made the best peanut butter cookies he had ever tasted. She always made him feel welcome when he went there for a weekend with y’all. We know you will miss her, but you have many memories that will always be with you.

    I still remember meeting Marilyn and her telling me where she was from knowing I knew the community which was just South of the County Line where I grew up. I appreciated her as her pastor and believe one of God’s children has answered the call. God bless my fellow Yankee who had the good sense to come to this part of the world.
