Marla Stroup

In loving memory of our beloved Marla Stroup on her 63rd birthday March 31.

Dearest Marla,

How we love and miss you and wish so much we could celebrate your 63rd birthday with you.

Your birthday this year comes the day before Easter. It would be so wonderful if you could be here for your birthday and for Easter Sunday.

We always have an Easter egg hunt for the kids and we know you would love that, but there will be no celebration, no party or birthday cake with candles. We won’t see you blow out your candles with that beautiful smile of yours, your smile could brighten any day, but you’ve been gone over 25 years now and your smile is gone forever.

We remember the spring day your were born 63 years ago. You were always so full of life and energy and brought so much happiness to your family and friends.

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

You won’t be here today to celebrate your 63rd birthday with us, but our love and memories will always keep you near.

For those who love you this day will always have a special place in our hearts and we thank God for the 37 years we had with you and for your children and grandchildren.

We’ll ask God’s angels to sing “Happy Birthday” to you.

We love you and miss you so much,

Dad, Mom and Family
