I Can’T Thank God Enough For Bringing You And Jimmy Into My Life. The Season We Had As Girlie Girls Where Some Of The Best Days Of My Life. God Saw Me And Sent Someone Who Loved Unconditionally, Walked Uprightly, Spoke With Authority And Cared Deeply To Help Mend My Broken Heart. I Have Been Forever Changed By Knowing Marilyn And Jimmy Miller, I Love You So Much. I Know This Was You And Renee’S Thing But Nothing But Death Could Keep Me From You.

I worked with Marilyn for a very short while at Tulsa Tech, she was a lot of fun to work with. Her laughter and smile along with her gentle presence will certainly be missed.She now rests in the arms of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

To my Sister-In-Law. I love you so much and you will be truly missed in this family. Come To Me God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you And whispered, “Come To Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us,He only takes the best. Love you Marilyn.
