Marilyn Jean Koenig
Dear friends and family of Marilyn,
On Tuesday, May 21st, Marilyn Jean Koenig achieved the final goal of her life on earth: a good death in faith. Marilyn enjoyed her family all through her last months and was well loved by them until the end. She has now joined the eternal family of God.
I rejoice with all of God’s people because of all Jesus did for Marilyn. He defeated death, undid evil, and gave the world to God. In him, Marilyn too has all of God’s gifts and an eternal inheritance. I pray that you are comforted as well and filled with joy:
“they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. 16 ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
“‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’” (Revelation 7)
We were blessed by Marilyn’s love and organization. Marilyn never failed to nurture other souls.

Lord Jesus, by your victory over death you have opened the way to eternal life for all of us. Comfort Marilyn’s family in their loss. Let their grief empty their souls of pain, hurt, and disappointment. Fill them up with new life. Renew their joy each morning. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
