Thank you, your condolence has been submitted. It will posted to our website within 24 hours.
Randy & family, I am very sorry for your earthly loss
of your wife, mom, sister & Nana. This is very difficult to lose her at a time when families gather
together to celebrate our Savior’s birth. I know it would be difficult no matter when. Mel was the leader of our class, Women after God’s Heart. God led her to start a class for women who attended church alone. Sometimes we would lay our lesson down because someone needed support. Mel always told us, our classroom is a safe place to share our praises & our burdens. We plan to keep
our class together to continue supporting each other, & out of respect for Mel.
Please know we continue our prayers for your family, as you grieve.
I am comforted that she is walking with Jesus, her Savior. She has a peace, A Silent Night, we will hopefully feel, when we finish our earthly journey.
May God encircle your family with peace, & calm knowing she is healthy, pain free & receiving many blessings from God. She was a force when she shared about her Savior. She was loved by many & we feel the loss. God bless your family & may He encircle you in His arms & give comfort to each of you.
Randy and family I am so sorry fpr your loss. Maralyn was a beautiful woman inside and out.
I pray God wrappes his arms around you all and gives you comfort and peace. RIP Mel
Dear Randy & Girls~We just learned of Maralyn’s passing and were so sorry to hear. She was a great lady and we always enjoyed fellowshipping with the Wheeler family at First Baptist Joshua and seeing you all at band events. We are praying the Lord will comfort your heavy hearts and walk with you through this uneasy passage of life. Maralyn was a lady who loved the Lord and was always a wonderful inspiration to others.
