Robert and family, Wally and Jerry,
We were saddened to receive the news of Marilyns’ passing. She accomplished a lot of things during her life here and helped many people along the way. That is part of the good works we are all task with, while here on earth. I would occasionally see her when we were both shopping at Dillons, she always had a smile on her face and we enjoyed catching up.
May the memories you all made with her, bring comfort to you all in the passing days and years.
With sincere condolences,
David and Patrice Drolte and family

Dear Family of Marilyn Thomas,
I appreciated that Wally and Hope contacted my father concerning the death of Marilyn. Dad emailed me and I was shocked to hear of her passing. She was a month younger than me and we spent some good times together at Grandma Drolte’s farm in Pretty Prairie, Kansas when we were young. It appears she spent the last years of her life in Florida, as well as traveling. I had no idea how expanded her family had become, including foster children. May you all be comforted by your own memories of her…life is precious and God is good to grant it to us! May her faith in our Christ grant her the freedom of eternal peace, as she experiences His new assignments for her in His Heavenly Kingdom. May all of us receive the free offer of eternal salvation by way of Jesus, and His gift to us of the Holy Spirit. May His Spirit comfort you all and give you inspiration in the days ahead in the absence of her presence. Love, Aunt DeAnna from Amana, Iowa
