Dear Steve and Gail,
I am so sorry for your loss of your sister. She is so well remembered by all who signed in and counless others, who like me were out of touch. Clearly, she brought healing care and concern for all with whom she lived and worked. God bless her and you both.

I am also a NWH class of '70 friend and was so very sad to hear of Marilyn's passing. We had some memorable times during those 3 years. I am so glad we were able to have the few reunion times together with Marilyn. She was indeed very special and will always be in our memories.

November 15, 2009

I was also a classmate of Marilyn's at NWH. I so enjoyed hearing of her weightlifting and motorcycle interests at various reunions. She made me smile and I was happy to see that she was so very happy. She, no doubt, had a lasting effect on many lives. My thoughts go out to family and friends.
Most sincerely,
Marcia Biron Vajcovec

Dear Stephen,

I was so saddened to read of Marilyn's passing. I first met Marilyn through my mom's, Helene Wye, working relationship with Phyllis. Marilyn and I then ended up going to school together and shared some good times and great laughs. I will miss our Christmas "catch-up" letters. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

Stephen,
So sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. It came as quite a shock to all of us. She was a very intelligent person. We didn't know she had so many degrees. May your happy memories together console you at this time. If there's anything that we can do to help you please let us know.
