Lisa, I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know many of your family but I sure remember your mom. Remember, we tried our best to lead your girl scout troop.

My mom died in May so I know it is not easy to lose a mom. Mom was 95 and had lived a long life but I still miss her as I'm sure you are missing yours.

CandleConnie & family,
We were sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. It's always had to let go even though you know she is in a better place. A Mother's love lives in our hearts forever.

CandleSo sorry to hear about Marlys. She will be missed. Her father and my mother were first cousins. We went to the same church growing up. Marlys always was a kind person and had lots of smiles which people will miss. Thought and prayers are with the family.

I grew up with Marlys in Buckeye We were in grade school together but went to different high schools. Stayed in touch through 4-H. She was a driving force in the Buckeye girls reunion and brought together many friends I hadn't seen since high school. Will miss her . God give you peace and bless you all.

CandleI enjoyed working with Marlys for the past few years, she was a driving force in many lives, as
her will was strong for her interest in her family history, kept me moving forward with many
parts of our Meyer history, Knowing that so much of what we are is inherited, not just our weakness. I will remember her first call to me. " Judi we need to do some work on the Meyer side" So that we did. Spirit is indestructible. She will always be around us.
eager to be heard, listen for her. and smile.
