To the Jeffers family,
We love you and are praying for you! This poem is a tribute to Marion and her impact on Southwestern Church of God! She will be greatly missed.
Marion -- 10/03/2021
She came from Bermuda
to lend US a hand—
finding a career and purpose
in a foreign land!
Her compassion for people
shown forth as a nurse—
as she lessened our sufferings
and helped heal our hurts!
Children she loved
and with wisdom and knowledge,
she applied her skill set
to help send them to college!
When money was tight
and dollars would slip
she urged young students
to apply for scholarships!
Care packages were sent
to the kids at school—
that provided body and soul
with love and fuel!
Youth retreats for her
were a great joy!
Her time and money were present
to assist our girls and boys!
But then one day
as it always does,
time ran out and
she no longer was!
She built upon
what others started,
and now from us
she has departed!
Southwestern Church of God
will carry on—
but it won’t be the same
without Marion!
Her heart of love
will always be,
the cornerstone
of her legacy!
From our family to yours--
Love, Carolyn, Richard, Brandon, Janelle, Ronen, and Link Manus
God Bless You!
