Marla Stroup

In loving memory of our beloved Marla Stroup on her 61st birthday March 31.

Dearest Marla,

How we love and miss you and wish so much we could celebrate your 61st birthday with you, but there will but there will be no celebration, party, or birthday cake with candles. We won’t see you blow out your candles with that beautiful smile of yours.

You’ve been gone over 23 years now and your smile is gone forever. All we have now are tears and precious memories of the 37 birthdays we had with you so long ago.

We remember the spring day you were born and all the years of growing up. You were always so full of life and energy and 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 won’t be here today to celebrate your 61st birthday with us, 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 day will always have a special place in our hearts and we thank God for the 37 years we had with you.

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

We love you and miss you so much, Dad, Mom and Family
