  • I am so sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. She was always smiling and would always say hi when I would stop into the bank. A very special person God bless ~ Tom Clark Pahoa, Hawaii (11/7/2017)
  • Sorry for your loss, she was a very kind lady ~ Brian Shepard Las vegas (11/7/2017)
  • I am truly sorry for the loss and pain that the Keyser family and friends are feeling because of losing Ms. Marilyn recently in death. Most of us have had to endure the sorrow of losing a loved one in death. What helped me the most was prayer and faith in God's promises like found here at 1 Corinthians 15: 26 and it tells us: "And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises, including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. (John 5:28, John 6:40, John 11:23-25) You are in my prayers. ~ Julie Jarmon 111 Chipmonk Ln (11/6/2017)
