In loving memory of our beloved Marla Stroup whose 53rd birthday is March 31.

Another year has passed and another birthday is here without you, Marla.

Today you should be celebrating your 53rd birthday, but there will be no party with family and friends, no cake or presents to mark the passing of another year.

How we wish we could spend this special day with you, but all we have are our precious memories of you and years past.

These memories are precious treasures God has willed to us to help us endure the pain of losing you. You brought so much love and happiness to your family and friends.

Life goes on, but our lives will never be the same without you. Though time may ease our heartache, it will never change the love and memories of you.

You won't be here with us today, but you'll always be here in our hearts.

For those who love you, this day will always have a special place in our hearts and we'll ask God's choir of angels to sing

"Happy Birthday" to you
