Knight Family,
I am so sorry for your loss and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
I always loved working with Ms. Marion during the time she volunteered at the senior center. She will be missed by so many!
My memories of Central Baptist Church are full of Mrs. Knight singing solos! Oh, and there was that one time that she marched from the choir loft to sit right beside me because I would NOT quit cutting up during the sermon. Good for her, I was being a stinker! Thankfully, I am still in church and not so much the stinker.
May God hold her family near. She’s singing with the angels now!
So sorry…. For your loss 🙏
So sorry for your family’s loss. May God give you peace.
Marion and my mother were good friends living in Jacksonville Towers which is where I met her and ended up being friends and same church members. She was a special lady who loved Jesus and her brothers and sisters in Christ. I was honored to call her my sister. I’m glad I met her🙂
Ou.r deepest condolences to the Knight family. May you find peace in loving memories.
And now she is singing in Heaven!!! God bless you all. Pray for your peace and you will see her again. Love & Hugs
May
God comfort your hearts in knowing she is with our Saviour and loving it! I will miss knowing she’s here, though I haven’t been able to see her for years now. Love you all.
