Son Scott G Garcia,was informed of his Mother Marlys Ann's hospitalizaion, while he was working in New Jersey for a movie company during 2003 and immediate flew from his work site, direct to sit and hold his loving Mother, which shows the true love and Respect, each Family Member shows and has for Mother Marlys Ann.
Scott truly loved his Mother, and was interested in what-ever-Marlys had to say, he is a faithful listener to most people he meets.

After a bolding tight scoring Baseball game, Marlys stopped by the Loca Mac's & purchased 2 gallons of cokes, for my 2008 Ball Team to drink, which made us players forget the number of runs the opossing team scored on us that losing ball-game.  A teammate, did see Marlys Ann, entering the Mac's shop, and she recogonized his baseball jersey, as my team, and purchased the cokes for us to drink during the game, and all teammembers,hoisted numerous "Hi-Fives" in favor to my beautiful-ever-giving-blue-eyed Marlys Ann!  Bless her soul!

     Think Back, to 1949, the World was so-so-so-so young, that our own Marlys Ann Lippsmeyer, thought of some travelling, in her own mind! 
     Her answer came on WED 16 November 1949.  Special thanks to Bev Farrington, Jane Ann Goetten, Yvonne Hall, Colleen Johnson, Mary  Ann Jueneman,Marian Kersting,Carol Knops, Joanne Koshoil, Margorie Laubach, Margaret Lauermann, Marlys Ann Lippsmeyer, Virginia Popp, Joan Schneider, Gwendolyn Wampach, Catherine Wenner and Marylyn Woods, with of course Troop Leader Arla Lippsmeyer,for making this trip very exciting and memorable. 
    Troop 18 departed at 6:00 AM St Cloud, bound for the National Girl Scout Convention being held in distant "Milwakee, Wisconsin! Young Bro Jon and Mark, was under the care of Father, Mr Frank Lippsmeyer! 
    Trp Ldr Mrs Arla, once indicated to all sixteen young ladies, "some of you in Pink Cardigan Sweathers, which are NOT LISTED in your Girl Scout Manuels, so please change, as-soon-as-possible, before the Train stops"!
The entire Troop will joined Mrs Savig, Exec Director for the latest National Girl Scout Recommendations!
     Marlys was somewhat proud, when all remaining 15 young Scouts indicated to her that "they were touched by Mrs Alra's laughter, she astonished them, with her devotion to God, but most  of all, her devotion to all sixteen young women of Troop 18.
    All ladies, hope to return to St Cloud on Friday 18 November 1949, train of course, with the main hope of NO MINNESOTA SNOW!.

   That year from 1934 until 1957,some twenty three years, I travelled from Dos Palos, CA to Roswell New Mexico, to Lourdes, France, including visiting the Vatican City in Rome, Italy, was never so adventureous, until March 1957, as I saw a beauiful, brunete colored hair, Angel walking down the street in Oakland, CA. 
    With-in one moment, I decided I could not let that individual walk away from my vision.  Stopping and parking my brothers car, I exited and walked at a fast pace to catch up close to that lady, walking and chatting with a lady. I understood the words, they spoke, however I was move interested in viewing their faces, as both had exceptional style of clothing that I had never seen on typical California woman.
     After a moment, standing near them both, I simply said, "Hello Ladies, this is not a safe corner to stand and chat", It is simpy not safe being alone", both women, turned and starred at me, and I then realized, by their concerned & somewhat fearful look on their beautiful faces, that they probably had never been talked to by a complete stranger.
     The brunete, simply looked at her friend, saying, "He looks harmless", both then smiled like the sunshine peeking out of the heavens directly to me.  I had no recouse but to extend my hand saying, " I am Jerry as they accepted my hand as the blond lady said, " I am Sue, and this is Marlys", to me, listening to the name of Marlys, sounded like  a prayer word to me, honest to God!
  

       Oh, Those days March 1957 when it was all so new, I stop my brother's 56 Merc, stepped on the Oakland City sidewalk, and four steps ahead of me, this Brunette Audrey Hepburn image,was walking in front of me.  By her stylish clothes, I realized she was not a typical California lady.  She walked w/class,grace, and my eyes stood still, and then she stopped to chat with her lady friend.  At the exact moment, I reached where they were chatting, stood for a minute, silent, admiring, they both turned looking, and all I could say was "Ladies, this is not a "safe' street to stop, without protection, it's not safe, here don't you know:? The brunette looked up & down, shook her head, telling her lady friend, "He looks harmless", I laughed, and remarked, "Hi, I am Jerry, just maybe a cup of coffee, might be helpful at this time", They both looked surprised, and pointing to a tiny Coffee Shop, they nodded ok!, Opening the door, I felt like the King of the Streets, no kidding, two beautiful women, walking w/me. We all sat at small table for three(3), with me in the middle.  The somewhat overweight blondhaired, lady,saying, "I;m Faye,and this is Marlys, we just been here for four days", I reintroduced myself, with my last name, saying, "Welcome to California, where did  you both arrive from"?, both replied "Minnesota" in unision!

      Dear Gerry:

       I';m sorry, I haven't written for awhile. Really, it wasn't my fault - this time it was my turn to have the Flu. I'm still not over it, have a temp of 103 right now.  I may not finish this tonight, but I received a very encouraging letter from you this afternoon, which did make me feel a lot better, You do have such a way of words to make anyone feel better, thats what I like about you, not the only thing, but it helps, hope you know that, I love reading your letters, sometimes, I read them two even three times and sorta giggle when you write special things, only to me!

       It's getting very tiresome to be sick, but I don't see,to have much choice in the matter.  Guess working nighjts doesn't agree with me - giving our Report Cards to my Kindergartner and lst Graders, I mean!

       I am so glad to hear you like your new job, I thought it was about time to have a position you enjoy, See, I told you everybody's luck gets better, if you ask God for some tiny assistance, which I ask him for you, a couple days ago. Everyone has good luck sooner or later if we just have the patience to wait. I hope everything is just perfect from now on.

       Guess, I better go to sleep now,  I don't feel as good as I thought, I said.  I'll finish letter tomorrow.

        Goodnight, Gerald and God Bless you.

                          Love Always

        Marlys                                                                                                                                 

        November 18, 1956    10;30 am  Dearest Gerry:  I had to postpone this letter for a few days cause Iwas too sick to write.  At least I'm getting a short vacation from school.  It was so wonderful to hear your voice last night.  All your plans sound great to me, your voice is so important to me, never forget that!  When we get together I am so sure everything is going to be just the way we always dreamed it to be.

        Hope you job is ok,you sounded happy with it, now tell me, What exactly will you be doing?, I hope you don't have to drive far to work, I know it was very hard for you before working in that terrrible place with those mean people, glad you left it, so both of us can be happy for each other.  But, now do you see that you should never give-up, no matter what happens.  It may take more time than you expect, but we must always have patience and trust.

       Yes, I agree with you abouty certain things, that will be different when we are together again! I think both of us have grown a little, also I'm sorry you think I've decided too many things - o.k., after last nights telephone call, you can make almost all of the decisions except just a couple which I must still figure out for myself.  Nothing big or important, but rather annoying, that's all!

       It was snowing when I woke up this morning.  It is the first timei've been home to see snow in 2 years.  Last year it didn't snow at all before I lefft.  I could do very well without it tho - I most prefer your California rain to lthis cold snowing weather!

       I keep wondering who is teaching for me & how my little monsters are getting along. Hope they will be glad to see me back when I finally get there. I can't seem to get of of bed.  This flue is no joke, as you know!

      I could just go on and on, telling you just how Happy I am everything  is O.K. for you, but I'm sure you know I'm very Happy for you.  I just wish I could tell you in person now.

     Gerald, I  hope you don't think I'm afraid to tell my Mother about  wanting to be with you. I sure wish I was with you now,  It isn't exactly that - I'm just waiting for the right mood and until I am well enough to think Real Clear.  Then I promise I will explain things and discuss everything with her.  Perhaps either next weekend or during Thanksgiving vacation.  My relatives are all coming for dinner on that date. No  one asked me, if I wanted our relatives here or not,but since my Father passed away, Mother seems to accept plans from most of her relatives, for some reason! But, I am thinking of flying to California during my Xmas School Vacation for a couple days, could you get me when I land at the Oakland Airport, please?

     Gerry, Please never forget me, as you are the only man, I really love, your black hair, your physique, please do not gain any weight until we see each other, honest,promise me that, my Gerald!

       Marlys

  All right, Our Marlys Ann, Its been nearly nine (9) months since,God asked   you to Be His New Beautiful Guardian Angel on Tuesday 26 April 2011. Of course, our family has been proud and blessed that Our Lord asked you to sit on God's Right Side and help protect this Planet, we call Earth!

  No one will ever forget, with you high spirit and wonderous brillance, you were placed on my indiviidual "Pedestal", the day we met, as I was overwhelmed by your personality. Never forget, daily when I look upward, I see your smiling Baby-Blue-Eyes,smiling downward, not only too me,but the entire world, including your many ex-K thru 3d Grade students, that loved you so much!

  Your love you showed all of our Garcia/Lippsmeyer and extended Family members, is being repaid to you in our numerous daily and evening prayers!

  Sometimes, I wish I could fly an airplane and pull a long MESSAGE reading, " My MARLYS is in HEAVEN", protecting and praying for us all day! If I ever see any Clear White DOVES, I will ask then to FLY direct to Heaven, for you to pet! We were SO VERY RIGHT, SAYING "OUR Love would last forever, as I do pray nightly, as MARLYS, you are still my Sunday Day of Rest!.Why, you ask, simply because of your inner gift of innocence and your continued delightfulness, which was your God's Gift to you, which you shared with all you met!            GOD BLESS YOU MARLYS ANN LIPPSMEYER/GARCIA
