Sincere Sympathy Marlys and Family. Thinking of you all. We share the road of life with ones that we hold dear and if it were in our power we'd always keep them near. For. they help us navigate the obstacles in life and it makes the journey easier when they are walking by our side And, although the road is lonelier when we no longer hear their step- Remember, they still share our road, They've just travelled on ahead.
