Marla Sue Ikeda
We are sending our love and prayers to you, for it is never easy to part from those we love. But knowing that Marla is at peace should bring some comfort. She was a wonderful woman who had a caring soul. We will miss her. God Bless!

It was always enjoyable seeing Marla and her family, at the family gatherings. She always took the time to ask how everyone was, and always had kind words for everyone. Though we did not see her often, it will be something that will be missed now. Our prayers go out to the rest of the family for the additional pain which has also been applied recently.

Akio and family - Deb and I send our deepest sympathies to you in the passing of Marla. I will never forget her dedication to missions and the heart she had for children. Her fierce dedication to the mission Christ set in her heart was an example to us all. I loved her as an older sister in Christ and treasure the fact that I got to know her and minister along side her. May God comfort you in your time of loss with the knowledge of how many lives she affected with Christ's love. - Pastor Dan

Marla was such a wonderful, caring person. The children she cared for and taught at Hillside were very blessed to have her. Her gentle nature will be missed but she's in our Father's care now and surely very happy and pain-free. Our prayers are with the family.

I met Marla at conference She always had a smile for everyone. She always talked about WKFM with such joy and energy. Her group always received lots of awards at conference. I thank the Lord for her life. You are in my prayers.

Please accept our sincere condolences in this time. We are in Arizona for the winter and heard about Marla's passing. We wanted very much to let you and your family know we were thinking of you. Jerry & Donelle Daugherty

Akio, John and Andrea, My prayers go out to you. Your mother/wife was such a strong Christian person. She has always had a special place in our family and my parents ministry. We know she lived for Jesus and this gives us hope. May her passion for Missions be shared by those of us who were fortunate enough to be taught by the best. You are in my prayers. Your friend, Jerry Ernst
