In loving memory of our beloved Marla Stroup whose 58th birthday is March 31.

Easter Day is always a beautiful and special day as we remember our risen Lord.

It’s an extra special day for us as another year has passed without you and you should be celebrating your 58th birthday today.

There will be no party, birthday cake or presents, no singing “Happy Birthday” watching you blow out your candles with that beautiful smile of yours.

We remember you every day but especially on this day that was once a day to celebrate your birthday.

How we would love to spend this day with you the way we once did, but those days are gone now.

All we have now are our precious memories of the 37 years we had with you. You were born on a beautiful spring day and were always so full of life and energy. You brought so much love and happiness to your family and friends.

Life goes on without you and time has eased the pain of losing you but our lives will never be the same without you.

You now have five grandchildren that you never got to know. How you would have loved spending time with them. They would have had a very special and loving grandma, but we know you’ll always be watching over them.

You won’t be here today but we know you’ll always be beside us every day and our love and memories will always keep you near.

For those who love you this birthday will always have a special place in our hearts.

We thank God for the 37 years we had with you and we’ll ask His choir of angels to sing a very special “Happy Easter Birthday” to you.
