Dear Russell and family.
Natalie and I were so privileged to have known Marian and family as our neighbors at Table Rock Lake.
Marian helped me and Natalie in so many ways to cope with the good times and bad with a smile and a positive attitude.
She will always remain in our hearts forever. With loving memories.
Thanks so much for your comments, you and Natalie are in my heart and always will be. Marsha you are a true friend.
Dear Russ and family,
It was an honor to have known Marian. She was so much fun! Always would light up a room with her infectious smile and laughter. She made visiting with friends and family a great time. We will forever remember the many precious moments visiting in person and over phone conversations. Those that stand out most were times spent with her in Branson, Lincoln, and our home at Christmas dinners.
Marian has left such an inspirational memory with friends, family, and those she cared for as patients. Truely a remarkable lady!!!
Her faith was so very real and important to her and she had no problems sharing that part of herself. We admired this so very much.
She rests in the arms of Jesus now. We will miss her. There are friends and there are ‘real’ friends. Marian was a ‘real’ friend and her legacy proudly lives on forever.
Our prayers and thoughts
The Rice family, John,Sheri, Jeff, Rachel, and Mary.

Hello Russ & Jay
Friendships are a rewarding part of our lives, and even though our paths take different directions, those times and experiences remain a very important part of our lives. So it has been with ours over the years, and even though we have not been in frequent contact with each other over the past few years – the memories of the good times (and some of the bad) remain with us to look back upon with a smile and a chuckle. I remember so many good times with you and Marian – and we want you to know how deeply saddened we are for you, your son Jay, and the children. Marian will remain in all of our hearts, and your family in our prayers. Please don’t hesitate to call if we can help in some way; we are not far away. Bruce & Darlene Bossen
Bruce I have known you a long time. Sometime our paths did not cross for years but they always managed to come back together. Marian always wondered if you were still going back to the Keys every year. That is one of the few places in the states we never made it to. Like you said we have had good and bad times but they have been memorable. God’s speed. Russ
