JOE AND FAMILY. …MY SYMPATHY TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
My aunt Marcelle was a very special person in the eyes of all my family members. We enjoyed visiting in her home every summer where my family has some fond memories of.She was truly a genuine lady. She did everything to give her love to her children and grandchildren. Now she’s earned her great reward.
Aunt Marcelle will always hold a special place in my heart .Very strong & loving . Praying for all her children & grandchildren . She will be greatly missed .I can just imagine the happy reunion she will have with her love ones whom have gone before her .
To the entire Lee family: I share with you in the loss of Marcelle. She was a wonderful Christian lady. She was beautiful inside and out. She was a very special lady and I loved her too. Donna, I know losing your mother is one of life’s hardest things to do, but you do have the assurance that she is now residing in Heaven with Jesus and all of her loved ones and friends. It is good to know that she is no longer suffering and walking on Streets of Gold just inside the Pearly Gates. I know Jesus welcomed her with open arms. Time will help the pain, but treasure all the special memories that you have of her. Just remember, you will see your parents one of these days and what a reunion that will be. God give you all strength and comfort during this sad time.
Lots of Love,
Sharon Darvas

We pray God’s ultimate peace and comfort over you all in knowing your Mom is rejoicing in the arms of our Lord. We pray God will soon replace your grief with the wonderful memories you all share.

My family knew the Albrights through being members of Northwoods Baptist Church/for many years. They were both precious people. And I in particular remember the children as they participated in GA mission services/attendants and helped me as a teenager (I am 67 now, smile.) This family was always friendly, encouraging, and loved the Lord and their family. Love and prayers to each of you. Love, Martha Hubbard Smith
