Today marks a full year Marilyn left her mortal body and met her Savior Jesus face to face. There is no way to truly accurately explain the waves of sorrow and joy that I know many of you have felt thinking about Marilyn, remembering her contagious laugh, her caring smile, and her sharp wit, but most of all her generous and sacrificial heart for others.  I know that if she could “send us” a message today, it would be to be encouraged and do not give up in doing what is good and just (Hebrews 10:24) and please know that “It is well, with her soul” Blessed be the memory of Marilyn Strand!
