I have to write a tribute for Marilyn since I was too emotional to talk at her funeral. My memories of Marilyn & Brock will always be etched in my heart...I still am mourning for Brock (Michael) and not fully accepted that he is gone and now Marilyn (very heartbreaking every day I have cried since she passed)...I can honestly say knowing both of them are gone hurts alot but knowing they are together again eases my pain. I just miss them both, not being able to pick up the phone and talk to either 1 of them is what I miss alot for it was their words of encouragement and hope that made me stronger over the years & also they told me to pray about whatever I was going through & to Trust in GOD for everything. Like Marilyn I was a young Army wife at 17 yrs of age and I thank GOD for allowing our path to cross thanks to The Jackson Family who has been close friends with The Brock's since 1978 when Brock 1st joined the Army and Marilyn came to Maryland to be with her husband, it was The Jackson family who told us to look up their good friends in Savannah when we got stationed there back in 1993 and Michael & Marilyn embraced me like a little sister (like family and we became family). We (The Jackson, Brock & JosephSmith family) share alot of fond memories that I will cherish forever. I love & miss you both Brock & Marilyn...rest in peace & Love until I see you 2 again. Like Marilyn would always tell me "We are family" Yes we are & I will always look up to the Heavens to her & Brock when I find myself missing them. I promise to continue my love onto Miranda & Melinda & their family. I just wish Brock & Marilyn were here with us still but I know GOD needed them more.
I Love you Brock & Marilyn always ~Chris
