Heavenly Father, Lord our God

This is Marilyn Ann Norton. She is my wife and the mother of our three daughters Barbara, Kathie and Sandra and grandmother to our seven grandchildren Christine, Holly, Jessica, Jacob, Tyler, Brandon and Dylan. Daughter to Eleanor and Ray and sister to Tomas. Granddaughter to Marie.

 She is a loving and caring person. She is very talented and hard working. She is an artist having painted many beautiful paintings. She has many friends. All here loved her very much.  We miss her terribly and our hearts are breaking with sadness.

Please take her into you arms and welcome her into your heavenly kingdom. Let her hurt no more. Give her everlasting peace and joy.

Help us understand why she was taken from us so that we can be joyful knowing that she is with you in heaven. Give us the strength to continue our lives without her but with the memory of her. We will always love and remember her in our hearts, minds and dreams.

We ask this of you Heavenly Father, Lord our God.

Amen
