Dear Jack and Family, I was so sad to hear of Marilyn's passing. She was a true tooper in every sense of the word. I know she had many problems, but she was always availalble to hear about your own. I will miss my birthday buddy, March 6 will always be remembered by me, and I will think of her always. Love, Linda Bodoin PS, I hope she liked my emails, and I certainly liked hers, and I will miss them!

Dave and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Mom was great to my wife and I as patients at Norwood ENT. She and I also had great conversations about when you and I were kids. She spoke of how proud she was of her children and their accomplishments.
May the many happy memories you have comfort you at this time and and help bring joy to you as time go by..

Jack,
Your loss is shared by all of us who had the pleasure to know and to have worked with Marilyn. I do not ever remember her without a smile on her face, even when personal or family health problems would have overwhelmed most other folks. Her easy laugh and concern for others made her a wonderful colleague. We will truly miss her.
