Sharon, Jo Ellen, and families --
Aunt Marva was always one of my favorite relatives. She always had such a gentle, peaceful, loving spirit and serene smile and disposition. It was easy to see why Uncle Joe was so devoted to her, and she so devoted to him and you -- she just always exuded love to those around her.
I am so sorry for your loss, and know she will be missed terribly. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love,
Barb and family

What a sweet lady. We spent the day with her and Joe, several years in the surgery family waiting room while Stub was having surgery. We are blessed for the memories.

FOR SHARON,JO ELLEN AND FAMILY, WE SEND OUR SYMPATHY IN THE LOSS OF MARVA. SHE WAS TRULY A CHRISTIAN LADY AND WOULD SIT IN FRONT OF US AT CHURCH AND ALWAYS HAVE THE NICEST THINGS TO SAY. HER FAVORITE HYMN WAS "MY TRIBUTE" AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WILL BE AT HER SERVICES, WHICH SHE WOULD LOVE. I WAS ABLE TO VISIT WITH HER A FEW TIMES AT IMBODEN AND SHE NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT ANYTHING. AGAIN YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS.
