She was such a blessing to us.....for so many years! Your father built the church in Norwalk in 1964....when we were missionaries for Saylorville Baptist Church. They had a ministry of encouragement for years and when Maryllin went to went to FBBC she found another host of friends who would never forget that sweet voice answering the phone! She always made us feel so special! AND she was the special one........we have loved and honored her for years! Sorry we cannot be with you during these days! Her life touched many in those years of ministry together with your father and then at FBBC! Great life....well lived serving the Savior!

She was a wonderful classy and godly woman! Her ministry at Faith Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary as Receptionist was spectacular! Now in Heaven because of her trust in Christ's death and resurrection for her salvation. We now await a grand reunion day!
