We so enjoyed spending time with Marvel at Radaich family gatherings. Her wit and sense of humor were special gifts. The loss of a mother leaves a special void, but relish the many great memories.

WE HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME .THANK YOU FOR ALL THE FISHING TRIPS
Bev & Em,
I am sorry I am not able to be there to celebrate Grandma Marvel’s life. We will be with you in thought and prayer.
Love,
Rach
The pain of losing someone you love can be overwhelming especially when it’s your mother; I too know that pain. May your family find comfort as I have in knowing that our loving heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will ‘swallow up death forever, and certainly wipe the tears from all faces.’ (Isaiah 25:8) What a wonderful day that will be!
