Dear Aimee, Bear, Mabel, Larry and Candace
Mike and I are so sorry for your Loss. God´s Hands now watch over Marlene,John and Tim. I have such GREAT MEMORIES of Marlene. We´ve been Friends since our days at Taylor University. Our first Thanksgiving at Taylor, Marlene came home with me and met my Family. Larry was in Residency in Michigan. The Bliley´s saw Larry, then came to our house. After retiring, they moved South. We would talk for hours, once or twice a month.
Aimee, thank you for watching over Marlene. Mabel, your Grandma was so proud of you and you were the Love of her Life, always remember the Special Things she would do for you!
May CHRIST OUR LORD BE WITH YOUR FAMILY!

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES
MIKE & JUDI KRAFT
