Robert, I'm very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Marilyn was a real person. Enjoyed working with her, and going on those casino trips on the bus with the group, and my husband the bus driver. My prayers are with you all.

I so enjoyed the humor. She was so fun. I worked at the PO with her until 1978 when I retired to go to nurse training and then moved to Omaha, NE. She had some grandchildren that will surely miss her.you all will. My thoughts are with you as you say goodbye.
