In loving memory of our beloved Marla Stroup, who passed away fifteen years ago November 12.

Like falling leaves another year has come and gone; another year without you in our lives, Marla even though its been fifteen years since the night God called you home, the pain and heartache of losing you never goes away.

You were gone before we got there so we never got to tell you goodbye and how much we love you.

As the years go by and we remember you, we often think of what might have been. You had so much in your life to live for. You never got to see your children grow up and there are so many things in their lives you had to miss.

We wish so much we could hold you and see you and see your smile once again but those days are gone forever. We'll always cherish our precious memories of you and the years you were with us.

You are very sadly missed along life's way and quietly remembered every day by the ones who love you. No longer in our lives to share, but in our hearts you are always with us and we thank God for the thirty-seven years we had with you.
