Dear Friends, Readers and Customers,
With the deepest sorrow imaginable, I must tell you my dear husband Duane passed away suddenly and unexpectedly Sunday night. We are all in grief and shock as he was only 56 years old and we had no indications ahead of time.
The Urban Homemaker started out as my hobby and later turned into our family business through Duane's vision and hard work. The Urban Homemaker will continue to serve all your needs for products and information in the Spirit of Titus 2.
My assistants Sandy Tuin and Laura Rogers will do their best to continue a high level of service in the meantime. I expect to return to the office next week.
My daughter Laura is flying home from Iraq as I write. She has a very long almost two day flight.
My children have grown up in the business and will be able to help me carry on with the highest level of service you have come to expect.
I am totally unprepared to becoming a widow at the relatively young age 56. Duane was a wonderful husband and daddy and will be desperately missed by myself, my children, my church family, and you my customers.
I have written you all twice in the last year about how life is fragile embrace with thanksgiving the smallest of everyday blessings. Unfortunately, now it is my turn to understand in a personal way the truth of these words.
Your prayers for a smooth transition and God's provision are most appreciated. Cards can be directed to our PO Box 72, Paonia, CO 81428.
With deep sorrow,
Marilyn Moll
The Urban Homemaker

ResponderEliminarI am speechless. I send hugs and prayers.
I am just so, so sorry, Marilyn. I have appreciated The Urban Homemaker through the years and you have our prayers and sympathy at this time. I pray for God's mercy and comfort to you and your children.
ResponderEliminarMarilyn, family, and staff
ResponderEliminarI just received your email today and although you don't know me personally, because we serve the same God we are Sisters in Christ and I wanted you to know that you all are in my prayers in this time of mourning and what lies ahead in your future. I have not personally lost my husband, so I don't know what you could be feeling but I do have a close friend whom lost her's two years ago. There was many times I would just go to see her and let her cry and I'd cry with her... or just listen to her, because I believe that was what she needed most. Not for some to tell her that's going to be better tomorrow or next year, or in a few years, but to be her friend now and until God departed us from each other and to encourage her as best I could. Even til this day... I send her flowers occasionally to let her know she is thought of and her husband is never forgotten. I hope and pray someone close to you will do the same and that they will uplift you even after all the visitors, have gone. I pray for strength for you and I know that you will make it... somehow, someway... you will. Love and Blessings to you.
So very sorry for your loss. May the love and support of your family and friends bring you comfort right now in your time of need. I have enjoyed your Urban Homemakers very much and appreciate the gift your family has given so many mothers like me out here. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
ResponderEliminarI am sorry to hear of your loss. I pray that you and your family will find comfort in His love during this time of great sorrow.
ResponderEliminarJayne
My prayers are with you. May God bring you comfort and support.
ResponderEliminarMy most sincere condolences for your loss. Praying for you to find peace until you will one day meet him again.
ResponderEliminarI feel so badly for you.I am lifting you and your family up in prayer now and in the coming days and weeks.
ResponderEliminarDear Marilyn & family,
ResponderEliminarPlease accept our sincerest sympathies for this terrible loss. We have been there with the loss of two teenage children several years ago. Our hearts ache for you & trust you to the Father's hands.
Oh, I am SO sorry.
ResponderEliminarI remember when my daughter placed an order a couple of years ago and your husband called her to talk about the order. She talked about what a wonderful man he was to do business with.
My prayers are with you.
I am so sorry, you have my deepest sympathies. I will pray for you and your children.
ResponderEliminarMarilyn,
ResponderEliminarYou and your family are in our prayers. Know that you are loved.
I am sorry for your loss. Thanks to your staff for letting us all know via email and the web.

Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI am so sorry to hear the news of Duane's passing. My heart goes out to you. I will be praying for you all. In 2 Corinthians, Paul talks about "the God of all comfort". May you and your family experience Him as you pass through this difficult and sad time.
I appreciate all that Duane and you have done over the years with your family business. It has been a source of education and inspiration to me. Here in New Hampshire, where the winters can be really long, your newsletters and blog have brightened the gray and cold days.
With love in Christ,
Julie
Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarMy heart breaks for you. Always so kind and understanding..Duane was a huge help to me with all of my many questions time and again over the last couple of years. You and your children are in our prayers. My love goes out to you.
Love and peace,

He touched all of us through his work to make our lives better. My heart is broken for you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
ResponderEliminarA few years ago I "googled" "stainless steel bakeware" and found a link to the Urban Homemaker. I ordered some pans and when I received them, I ordered more for my daughter. That was how my relationship with this company began. Since that first encounter, I have received so much more...in the way of catalogs, emails, and a lot of knowledge. It's obvious from the emails that Marilyn takes pride in what she does and is very dedicated to her business. Not only does she preach eating healthy, she lives it. Although I have never met Marilyn personally, or her family, I have felt a connection to them through her emails. Therefore, I am deeply saddened that they have to go through the pain and grief of a sudden death of a loved one. The family will be in my prayers as they go through the next weeks and months of trying to cope. God bless you all.
ResponderEliminarLove,
Mary, Satellite Beach, FL
Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI don't even know what to write that would seem in anyway adequate for this time. Just know that we are praying for you and your family.

Lovingly,

Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI'm remembering Duane's gentle voice on the phone seminars and his quiet presence as you interviewed special guests. I can only imagine the void his unexpected passing brings into your lives. You and your children are in our families prayers.

Remind her that you are a Rock and the Prince of Peace and that you will make her cup overflow, even when it feels like it is running dry.

ResponderEliminarDear Marilyn and family,
ResponderEliminarWe are shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden loss of your dear devoted husband and father. Our hearts ache for you and we are praying for you during this sad time. I lost my mom in Oct. and though she was not my husband we were very close. I pray God's peace for you during this difficult time. God is so faithful to help and never leave while we walk through the deep valleys. I am so amazed at the things God enabled me to do I look back and wonder how it all happened.
Waiting on His return and praying for the lost ,

I just want you to know that prayers are going up for you and your family! I am actually speechless. Praying for you all!
ResponderEliminarLeslie
My love and prayers to the Lord on your behalf, Marilyn, and to your family and loved ones. I pray the God of all comfort will carry you and guide your thoughts and steps, give you wisdom and strength to care for the necessary things and to be able to rest in His merciful care. Through the years I've come to understand that sorrow skips no home and that grief is part of the fabric of a life lived for Christ and yet, when sorrow descends on our home its heaviness seems unbearable. I pray the Lord will bear you up and strengthen you with His peace and joy in the midst of terrible anguish. I pray the loving experiences and memories you have with Duane will bring joy to your heart as you recall the years he's loved you. I pray you will be keenly aware of the presence of the LORD. Thank you for you. In Jesus, pamela

God Bless,
Kim in NC
Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI was just thinking of you this morning, about how I first heard about The Urban Homemaker from a homeschooling tape with Jackie Wellwood, and how I was not much good in the kitchen until then. Now my daughter, who is 11, uses your bread recipe twice a week to make delicious bread for the family... I have worked myself out of that job! I am so sorry for your loss. We don't know each other, but your family means a lot to me and I am praying for you all.
Sincerely,
Kristyn Hall

ResponderEliminarI just heard about Duane and my heart is aching for you! It is hard to believe after just being with you both on Saturday that he has gone to be with our Savior! Life is precious!! I too have been learning this more and more lately!
I know the Lord will comfort and sustain you through this. Trust in Him with all your heart, do not lean on your own understanding, but acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.

With hope to encourage, here's a link to a friend who is walking your pathway: lazydranch8.blogspot.com/
Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI was so shocked to find your email this morning. My heart is just breaking for you and your children. I have grown to love your ministry, business, and family over the years. I almost feel as though you were all distant family. I know I speak for many, but Duane will definitely be missed by those of us that call in for your phone confrences. He was so much fun. I know your heart is breaking. I will be praying for you and the kids, that God would just wrap His loving arms around you all as you grieve the loss of your wonderful husband.
Love and comfort to you Marilyn,
Denice
Marilyn and Family,
ResponderEliminarOh, how much Jesus loves you all. How He has allowed such a monumental trial like this for your good and His glory. It is in the deepest valleys of this life that we can even begin to feel the those Loving Heavenly Arms that hold us up. God allowed his beloved son Duane to be in this world for 56 years to be a blessing to you and this world. Now He is where he is the happiest he could ever be. Absent from the body present with the Lord...
Human words cannot comfort like God's words so draw from the wellspring of scripture that is within you. God of all comfort has sent the Comforter and He Himself dwells with you and your family. Know that as your sister in Christ I weep with you and I rejoice with you. I will continue to ask the Holy Spirit to remind me to pray for you all in the days, weeks and months ahead.
Your sister in Christ,
Elizabeth Scott
Please know, you are in our prayers. God Bless you and your family.
ResponderEliminarPlease know that you and your family are in our prayers and you have our deepest most heartfelt sympathy. I lost my father 4 years ago very unexpectedly so I can certainly understand what you are feeling. Please take time to rest in our precious Heavenly Father who will bring healing and peace to you. Thank you for the blessings your business has brought to our family over the years - I have learned so much just reading your catalog.

Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI'm heartbroken for you and for your family. It was so good to talk to you this morning and to "hug" you, if only by phone. You are my dear, dear, sister in Christ and I remember so well the process you and Duane went through as you began Urban Homemaker -- you always lifted up every step to the Lord and sought His wisdom, mercy and grace every day, and He has been your Guide and Provider and Sustainer. I'm praying for a double-measure to sustain you now that your dear husband is gone. I still can't take it all in - as I know you can't, either. May Jesus lovingly fold you in His arms and comfort your broken heart. "A father to the fatherless and a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling." Psalm 68:5. Bob and I will be praying for you and will keep in touch --
Give our love to Laura, Stephen and Mary.
With much love and shared sorrow in my heart,
Cindy Lento
I'm so sorry for your loss.

This was my first visit to your website, and I am deeply saddened to hear of your tremendous loss! My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
ResponderEliminarMarilyn,
ResponderEliminarYou and Duane helped me several years ago when I was struggling with children with allergies. I so appreciated the time you both took with me on the phone (Duane was the "secretary" that day, and you gave nutritional advise).
I will certainly be praying for you and your family in the coming days and weeks as you adjust to a new normal, grieve the temporary loss of your mate, and comfort your children.

Dear Marilyn & kids, your family has been a vital part of my life for over 20 years now. Duane hired me as the 1st employee for The Urban Homemaker and I have so many fond memories of our times together as well as wheat sales which became annual traditions I eagerly anticipated. A day doesn't go by that I'm not so very thankful for all you've taught me and continue to teach. Words can't express how much you mean but please know God's quiet strength will see you through, and I am here too. Love you much. Mary & Atif
ResponderEliminarReading your announcement made me cry. I have dealt with your husband on the phone several times over the phone over the years. He was a very sweet man, I felt like I kind of knew him. My heart squeezes tight thinking of your loss. May God give you strength and peace to make it through this transition and for times to come.
ResponderEliminarLove,
Heather Bryant
I want to add my deepest condolences to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Marilyn and Family:
ResponderEliminarThis is a truly great loss to all of us. How often when I have been invited to speak at the seminars was Duane not there before anyone else, to make sure all was just right, greeting everyone and making it feel comfortable for us to go on the show. It was obvious from the many fine things that have come from Urbanhomemaker that this was a truly a two people job and a great half of them has been taken from our midst. May God who calls those who have finished their job on earth, unkown to us why so suddenly and young, also bring great comfort to us all knowing that we WILL meet again and there never again to part. My sincerest love to each of you. Be brave Marilyn we all need you more than ever.

Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI don't know you well but I love your kindness, intelligence, energy and commitment, and the foundation you have laid for health across the nation.
To hear that you have suffered this terrible loss makes me want to encourage you even more to continue what you started. If I were your neighbor, I would send a warm meal. Please remember to nourish yourself, every day, every meal! Stress makes you want to forget this, but you can not forget this! It will threaten YOUR health, and your ability.
Please take good care of yourself - we need you!!! And take your time - whatever you need is right. Ask for help, and take it willingly.
love and thanks,
Blair McMorran

ResponderEliminarMarilyn,
ResponderEliminarI only met Duane once at the grain sale last year in Aurora, but had the pleasure of speaking with him many times when ordering or inquiring about products. I am very sorry to hear about his passing... you and your family are in my prayers. -Ellie
Your Pain is Empathy in each and everyone of our hearts, I pray that during this time of grieving you all will be lifted up in the love of Christ Jesus.

Sweet Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI can not even pretend to understand what you are experiencing. I do know this however, you are so loved. Both by Our Precious Heavenly Father and by so many you have helped bring closer to the Lord through your friendship and your ministry. You and your family have touched so many that you may never know about this side of heaven.
We will pray for the comfort of you and your family. Your word of the Lord, and your kindness, spreads in circles unbeknownst to you. That's how we found you and your wonderful ministry that is so very loved and appreciated by all of us.
Blessings Sweet Child,
Jodi

ResponderEliminarYou welcomed me into your home for thanksgiving in 2006 (a total stranger to the family) and I am forever grateful for the experience.
I hope the warmth and love that I witnessed and felt isn't daunted by the physical absence of one in the home.
I extend my deepest sympathy, rest assured that Mr Moll has been called on to greater things, he has fulfilled his function on earth and has certainly touched my heart.
Steve my friend, be strong, feel free to call anytime
Dear Marilyn and family, I am shocked and so saddened by Duane's sudden death. I remember Duane as such a devout and also fun loving man with infectious humor. We all were blessed to know him. May the God of all comfort, comfort you and your family and hold you close as you walk through this time of deep loss and sorrow. Praying for you. With love Janet
ResponderEliminarI am so very sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
ResponderEliminarHugs!!!
Marilyn & Family,
ResponderEliminarMy prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I lost my own father suddenly when I was a teenager, and I remember well trying to make sense of it. One of the best things my mom did was to encourage us to talk openly about my dad and to celebrate his life.I will pray that you'll be surrounded by the love of the Lord and of good friends, and that He will provide wise counsel to you when you are in need of it.
God's blessings on your family,
Jennifer
Our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to you, Marilyn, and to your family. May the God of all peace comfort and surround you, and may His peace that passes understanding guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarThis is the second such email I received today, another of a missionary friend whose 27 year-old son died suddenly and unexpectedly. My heart hurts for you. I know I cannot understand, but our circumstances were similar, a family ministry that grew from the basement and a relatively young husband (my husband is 57). I almost lost him 14 years ago to a farm accident and although I know my words cannot console you, my prayers will be with you and your children as you embrace your grief and hold close the memories of your dearest friend. May God's mercy hover over you and shelter you as you pour out your sorrow to Him. You will be changed, but with His grace you will continue to minister to many other women and families. Thank you for your work that I share with many families. Blessings and God's Shalom,
Jimmilea Berryhill
Marilyn and Family:
ResponderEliminarI cant tell you how sorry we all were to hear of Duane's leaving this earth. He will be greatly missed by all whose life he touched. Our relationship far transended mere business and I believe we have all lost a great friend. May God give you release in your sorrow and aid in your healing.
My prayers are with you
Cheryl
I am so very sorry! I will be praying for you in a very special way! I bought my first K-Tec from you and your family about 15 years ago, I am feel like you are family! I'm so very sorry! May God comfort you during this time in a way that only He can.
ResponderEliminarPraying that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around you and your family.
ResponderEliminarMarilyn, Lyn H. from Corona told me briefly, over the weekend (there was a Women's Retreat), about Duane's leaving. I'm stunned...I remember Duane in your kitchen when you were demonstrating to a few people. A very nice man with the idea of a business and you were obeying him as the head of your family.
ResponderEliminarYou now have a new world, with a hole that's Duane-shaped. It will take a while to adjust. He left you a way to support yourself now...you were and are loved.
Love, hugs and prayers
Dear Friends,
ResponderEliminarI am very sorry about your husband and daddy. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you, be your friend and help you heal. Love you all.
Just in case you didn't get over to see the offerings of love and support or you at TOS, I just wanted to tell you (again) that my heart is utterly broken for you and your family. You are in my prayers. Take all the time you need to let the Lord balm-up your wounded heart. Do what you need to do to get through this, always letting the Lord carry and lead.
ResponderEliminarYou are loved and prayed for by SO many!

My heart goes out to all of you during this difficult time. While it was a surprise to you, rest in the peace and assurance that it was no surprise to our gracious Heavenly Father, Who always goes before us. He will carry you during the following days, weeks, and months through His strength, power, peace, and presence. Rest in Him.
ResponderEliminarMarilyn, there is nothing more I can add than already has been said. You have my sincerest and most heartfelt sympathy... and prayers.
ResponderEliminarIn Christ Jesus Who will hold you up~ Andrea
Dear Marylin and children,
ResponderEliminarWe're so sorry so hear about Duane's passing away at such a young age. My heart goes out to you and your children. We're praying that God will give you the strength and energy to get through this.
My prayers are with you. My father passed away in 1972, when I was 14. He was 55 years old. I can only tell you how faithful God has been through the years. To us all - to my mom who passed away in 1997. I pray God's grace to lift you, lift you, lift you through the coming days - and meet you around every single corner.
ResponderEliminarDeb
Here is the story of my father's passing:

It is an amazing story of God preparing us, and helping to hold on through the rest of the years knowing that He's in control. God was there that day. The day my father died.
Marilyn, I am so sorry that Duane was called home so soon. I will lift you and your family up in prayer. Rejoice in the fact that Duane is with his precious Lord now.
ResponderEliminarDonna
Oh Marilyn, I am so sorry for your loss. I write this teary eyed because I can only imagine your grief, astonishment, fear, and despair. I am praying for your healing, provision, and faith to trust in His goodness and sovereignty. May the Lord bless you and sustain you in His grace. Sending you a big <<>>.
ResponderEliminarDear Marilyn, Laura, Steven, and Mary,
ResponderEliminarWanted to let you know that you all have been very much in our thoughts and prayers this last week and a half. We are very sad for you all and pray that God is holding you very close during these days. We have many wonderful memories of you all from Corona, and enjoy the picture of the twinkle in Duane's eyes when he smiled. He was a wonderful man, and will be greatly missed.
Hugs to you all, Jan for all the Goellners
Just to let you know that I am holding your family high in prayer. May you know that you are covered, loved & adored by our Father in Heaven.
ResponderEliminarMuch love in Christ,

Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI am so sorry for your loss. My heart just broke for you when I read the news. I cannot imagine what you must be going through. You are on my heart and in my prayers.
Kathy
Praying for you all.
ResponderEliminarMay our Lord bless you with his strength, comfort and love.
Hi Marilyn, Laura, Stephen, and Mary,
ResponderEliminarYou all are on my mind and in my prayers constantly. This morning I was washing out old grain buckets to prepare for the new grain and it was a reminder to pray for you. I really do not need grain buckets to remind me to pray as my heart aches for you, and so many of my thoughts filter through knowing that you all are experiencing such sorrow and loss. I have enjoyed knowing your family through the years. I cannot remember Duane without a smile and "happy eyes". I am praying that the Lord will comfort you and give you strength for each
day, and hope for tomorrow.
Love and hugs,
Lori Saxe and family
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so deeply sorry for your loss. May God wrap His strong arms around you and your family and make His loving presence very real to you in these days and months ahead. Sincerely,
ResponderEliminarAnne Wilbur and Family

Go bless you, dear Marilyn, as you and your family travel this rough (but not impassable) road. I have prayed for you and will continue as the Lord reminds me.
ResponderEliminarGod bless,

Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarYou will be in our prayers. I am so sorry for your pain and loss, though I know that God will be your strength and that He will be glorified in the midst of it.
Praying for His comfort, strength, love, provision, wisdom, and mercy during this time of transition and healing. Please visit my friend, Heather's blog. lazydranch8.blogspot.com/ She too lost her precious husband suddenly 3 months ago. She is still raising little ones, so needs much prayer for guidance and strength too. Perhaps you could encourage one another?
Praying...
Dear Marilyn, Laura and Stephen,
ResponderEliminarMy deepest condolances during this time of loss. Duane was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. I am very sorry he was stricken with a heart attack.
If you are ever in Denver, please know you are welcome in my home anytime.
Much love and hugs - Merry Snyder
Dearest Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI have just heard the news of your precious husband, Duane, passing. I am deeply sorry. Duane Moll lived his life well, and showed what being a man of God truly looked like. You have been on my heart for several weeks. I had no idea. Know that you will continue to remain in our thoughts and prayers. Please embrace your family for our family. The Moll family has always been and will always be a blessing to so many.
Love and peace to you all,
Karen and Family
Dear Marilyn & Family,

Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI haven't visited your website in over a year, and am shocked and deeply saddened to hear that your beloved husband died suddenly last year. You are a testimony to God's sustaining grace as you continue your earthly pilgrimage by His grace and strength!
Karen
Dear Marilyn,
ResponderEliminarI haven't shopped with you recently, so I am shocked and saddened today as I just discovered that your husband had graduated into Glory last year! There aren't words worthy of your loss. I am truly sorry. I will be praying for your family.
Good memories are nice sometimes after losing a loved one so I'll offer one: I spoke with Duane several times about the Whisper Mill, Dimension, pressure cooker specials, etc. He was so kind, honest, accomodating and always thorough. I appreciated him very much!
May God richly bless you today,
Marcella Butler
