Marian Schober

[Scott Ross]

Marian Schober passed away on February 21st 2008 in Wenatchee, Washington.

I don't have the obituary yet, but will post it when it is available.

Marian is the mother of Lyle Schober, overseer of Minnesota. He was able to be with his mother when she passed away, as were other family members.

I believe that Marian has 5 sons and 3 daughters.

Marian Violet Schober

I corrected the date I had posted originally from the 20th to 21st. I had mixed up a PM with an AM

Keeping him in our prays. I truly hope for the best for Lyle.

This may be one funeral a worker will speak about a mother,grandmother and friend instead of using it as a gospel meeting. Still keeping God in the memorial service. Lyle was in our home for visits many of times while IOWA.

I am glad that Lyle was able to be with his mom. Sending warm thoughts and condolences
to you Lyle and your family.

[lyle]

Many thanks for the comforting words and thoughts. I have been very moved by the large number of messages that have come in many forms at this time. These days are filled with joy because of knowing what meant the most to mom. Our real feelings of loss will likely come in stages later on but for now we children rejoice in hope and the comfort of love from our Lord and others.

Mom's funeral is Saturday (Feb 23) at 3:00 with a burial on Monday at 10:00 due to unavailable services from the cemetery tomorrow.

Sincere thanks, Lyle

[to Lyle]

You are very welcome Lyle.

Lyle, we're with you. I never met your mom, but I met her son. We know great comfort is yours. And we remember very well your visit to us here for conventions in Chile. We hope you can come again.
All the best.

Lyle, I'm sure that I can join with others on this thread and speak for the TMB community in passing on our condolences to you and your family. Most of us never met your dear Mom, but we glimpse just a little of the faithful mother that she has been from what we know of her son.

Something I have wondered about at times like this is whether we will know each other in heaven. I believe that we will. Perhaps not in the same way as our relationships on earth. But I do feel that we can expect to know and meet up with loved ones who die in Christ. Likely we will know each other in new and even better ways (what a joy to contemplate).

I think there's enough scripture to inform us that we retain our faculties including memory after death. And Moses and Elijah were recognized at the transfiguration. And God is a God of relationships; God and his Son Jesus, God in relationship with us his family on earth..

There's lots to give us hope at times like this. But most of all, we rejoice with Paul at the spiritual blessings God gives all who are in Christ:

to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. (Ephesians 1:6-8 NIV)

Indeed. To the praise of his glorious grace, lavished on us! Lyle you are loved and respected here and we are thinking of you.

Lyle, our thoughts are your way, as we did meet and hear you speak when we were in Iowa several years ago.

Admin - you made a good point and painted such a beautiful picture of what we have to look forward to and look forward to spending eternity with if we remain in Christ.

Thanks all.
