Bork Family. I am so sorry to read of Marion's passing. She always asked about our mom (Gloria Armstrong) and expressed concern when she developed dementia. Her kindness was so much appreciated. You have our family's deepest sympathy.

Cousins Dave, Lynn and Jim, I recall your mother's beauty and generosity. Her laugh was contagious. Marion, Harley and Donny are home with her Savior Jesus, so I am comforted to know we will not always be apart. I'm sorry for your loss.

I only knew Marion from church. She was what I would call a classy lady - gracious, warm, and cheerful. For me she was a light shining Jesus' love for us all. I'm so glad our paths crossed, I'm a better person for having known her.
