In loving memory of our beloved Marla Stroup whose 57th birthday is March 31

Another year has passed and today you should be celebrating your 57th birthday.

But 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 wish we could spend this special day with you to celebrate the way we once did, but those years are gone.

All we have now are our precious memories of you and the 37 birthdays we had with you.

Spring is here, flowers are blooming and everything is turning green again. It always reminds us of the beautiful spring day you were born.

You were always so full of life and energy and you brought so much love and happiness to your family and friends. You have four grandchildren now and a new grandson due in July.

It breaks out hearts that you never got to see or spend time with them.

Life goes on 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 but we know you’ll be beside us every day and our love and memories will always keep you here. For those who love you this day 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 “Happy Birthday” to you.

We love and miss you so much.
