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

Sixteen years have gone by since your life was so suddenly taken.

We couldn't have known the sorrow and heartache that stormy night would bring.

Our family circle was again broken and changed forever that night.

The last time we saw you and spent time with you was the night before that terrible accident.

It seemed as though you somehow knew it would be the last time we would be together. We will always treasure that memory.

Time has helped us learn to hide our pain and sadness and smile again, but our heartache never goes away.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. Part of us went with you the night God called you home.

The days when you were here with us are gone forever, but we'll always have our precious memories of you.

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 will always be with us and we thank God for the thirty seven years we had with you.

We love you and miss you so much.
