Dear Dennis and Family,
I was so sad to hear of Marilyn's passing. At the same time, I am relieved to know that she is no longer suffering and that she has reunited with her son. I am so sorry for your great loss. She was a remarkable women...always with a smile and a highly contagious laugh that I will never forget!! :o) We had many laughs together and I will miss her always. I am so grateful to her for all she's done for my family, especially my sister and nephew. She was truly one in a million! I loved her so much and she will always be in my heart. Much love to you all!

Dear Dennis and Family,
We were informed yesterday by Linda Adams Hansen that Marilyn passed away earlier this Month. Our prayers have been for you Dennis, but for your personal health. Now they will included your and your family at the earthly lose of your sweet heart. I just can't imagine the reunion she has had with your brother Steve and other family and friends. I know Steve has been very active in missionary work. I have received revelation from him about one of my sons teenage friend who died. I will always cherish Steve.
With love and prayers.

Dear Dennis, Michelle, Teri, and Families:
I just found out about Marilyn's passing and I wanted to send my condolences and let you know how much I loved her. She fills my childhood memories from elementary school through college, and beyond. I still remember when your family moved into the neighborhood! She was always one of my biggest fans and supporters and I was one of her's. I am so happy that my two children were able to meet her and spend time with her when she lovingly took them to visit her house when we were visiting SLC for Christmas.
She had such a strong faith that I know she is happily doing a jig, hugging Steve, and smiling down on all of you.
Please know that my love and healing thoughts are with all of you.
With Love, Diane Davis Tanner

Dear Dennis, Teri, Michelle and Deanne, Todd and Ed, Today was your precious Marilyns funeral and I have to express to you in writing that Marilyn had to have LOVED the people who came and all those who laughed and cried over your great and beautiful talks of her. I said it before but we are all jealous that you were related to her. I truely felt that I was one her best friends and that only she and I understood the things we had in common or things we thought were funny. I loved her. She had an incredible spirit and is now in the heavens being the queen there too. I know Steve is so happy and they are laughing and probably dancing. Knowing she is there makes passing on not so scary. Love love love to your family. We love you Dennis.

Merilyn-
I can't express how shocked I was when I heard the news. Thanks for everything you have done for me. I will ALWAYS cherish the stocking that you made me right before I left on my mission. The memories of the conversations that we had at the clinic will always be special to me. My day was always better when I saw you on the schedule!! Thanks for everything!!!!

Dear Adams Family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear about Marilyn's passing. I have such fond memories of Marilyn the whole time growing up in the ward with her. She was the best Young Women leader and her funny stories are legendary. (I still quote them-30 years later!!) Marilyn and your whole family have been such an inspiration to me and my whole family, all of these years, of love, patience and faith through adversity. Marilyn and Dennis have been such wonderful friends to my parents all of these years. I know they will miss Marilyn terribly.
My heart and prayers go out to you (Dennis, Michelle, Teri and your families). I can't imagine how much you will miss her but I know your faith will get your through, as it has before.

Dear Adams,
You cannot imagine how brokenhearted I was to have this notice sent to me. When I was in town last time I tried to get in touch with you all, but didn't end up meeting up with you. Oh how sad I am to have not seen her one last time. Dennis and kids, you will never know how much your family has meant to me through the years. As a youth spending time with you as little children was so fun! You all have a very special spot in my heart, and always will. Your mom was someone who I always wanted to be like. So positive all the time, never complaining even when she felt so awful and had more health problems than one should have to endure. I can just see her though in the pre-existence, saying "oh that is ok, I can handle all that, I will do whatever you would ask of me to help others. She brought out the best in everyone. I always wanted a marriage like yours and Marilyn's, Dennis, You were so good to her and loved her so much, it showed in everything you did for her and your family.
I cannot express the feelings that are in my heart right now but I want you to know she is one of the greatest people I have ever known. My life was definitely influenced for good by having Marilyn as my friend. Even though I hardly ever got to see her anymore, being so far away, we were great friends and I loved her so much.
My prayers are with you at this time of loss for your family and oh how I wish I could be there. Please know how much I love all of you.

Dear Adams Family,
I'm sorry to hear about Marilyn's passing. She was always one of my dad's cousins that I remember well, because she was so friendly. I don't think I ever saw her without a smile. I know everyone that knew her will never forget her.

Love Roger and Christy Hall

Dear Marilyn Adams family:
I had the great pleasure and priviledge of treating and getting to know Marilyn at Hand and Ortho Rehabilitation. She had the great ability to make me laugh even when she was hurting so bad. I loved her alot. She spoke often her love of her family and once told me a story of waiting in line for her drivers license renewal and sparking a conversation with a stranger who really didn't want to talk to her,but she persisted and the young man told her how grateful he was that someone actually treated him with respect. Thats the way she was, no one was ever a stranger they were always a friend. I will truly miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you the family at his difficult time. Thanks for the honor of letting me get to know Marilyn. I'm sure she is making new friends in heaven, and doing that resurrection boogie as she often called it.

Dear Dennis, Michelle, and Teri,
I was stunned and extremely saddened to learn of Marilyn's passing. I was waiting to hear she felt good enough to get together. It gives me one more person to look forward to seeing when it's my turn to go. Dennis, I know you will miss her terribly as I know how much you two loved each other. I pray that the vision of her greeting Stevie and making everyone up there laugh with her Resurrection Boogie will give you comfort during the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you. All my love to all of you.

We were sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Marilyn, that although peaceful has left an undeniable void in your lives; we are aware of your sorrow and express our most sincere condolences and good wishes. We are so glad to have been influenced for good by such a wonderful person and "...hold forever in our hearts a sweet and hallowed memory..."

Dear Dennis,Michelle, & Teri,
I am one of the lucky ones that was priveledged to know your family and love all of you. Marilyn always brought me cheer, good will, and helped when I was desperate. I am so lucky to have had our children in Primary in the Wilford Ward and to be with Marilyn in the MIA. She truly is a chosen daughter of God.
Nothing can be said at a time like this, but, I am sure she and Stevie are hugging and holding each other on the other side.
My love will always be with you,
RaNae

Dear Dennis and Family,
I want you to know how much I love you all, and how much I love Marilyn. I always viewed her as a second mom because of all the great talks she and I would have. she was always a great support to me and to any decisions I would make and always, always willing to listen and lend an ear. I am so sad that she is gone but I am happy that she is in a better place and not in pain any more. It also gives me great strength to know that she is up there with my beautiful little boy Chance and watching out for him while I am down here.
Love to you all,
megan

How I truly love Marilyn! She has always been so good to our whole family. I never saw her when she wasn't cheerful, even when she was in pain. What a wonderful example. I am especially grateful for her help with my nephew Chance (she'll always be "grandma Marilyn"!) and for her many acts of service and friendship over the years. My prayers and thoughts are with your family! She will be missed so much. ~ Much love...

Dear Dennis, Michelle, and Teri,
I just love Marilyn! Ever since I was five years old, my memories of Marilyn are of her smiling, happy face! She always had something nice to say to me, and always bragged about you kids! She is probably one of the funniest people I know. I can only guess how much she is impacting those around her now! What a great lady you have as your wife and mother. I am so happy that I got to see her just last week as she and my mom(Kathie) were coming home from water aerobics! It was also great to run into you, Michelle, at Costco. I pray for all of you at this difficult time. Even my daughter, Whitney, will miss Marilyn, or as she calls her"Grandma's funny friend". We will all be thinking of you. Love, Kim and Bryan Quick

Dear Dennis, and our friends Teri and Ed in Soda Springs,
It breaks my heart to hear about Marilyn. Thanks for being great friends and examples to us. Your family is a living tribute to her just as the 2000 Stripling Warriors were a tribute to their parents. My thoughts are with you and I'm praying that the Lord will bring peace to your hearts.

My Dear Friend Dennis,
As I write this my heart is very sad but my mind is a flood of wonderful memories from over 60 years of friendship with Marilyn. Our friendship goes back to the old Provo 4th Ward, where Marilyn and I grew up. We became steadfast friends. Then you and Nancy entered the picture and we became even closer. There have been good times and yes, some difficult times but we always made it through. We will make it through this experience just like the others.
Sister Boswell and I love you and your family and wish we were there with you. We will however, be there in spirit. Our children will also remember Marilyn fondly as she was always so interested in each one of them. From the time they could talk until now it has always been Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Dennis.
We are thinking of you and ask our Heavenly Father to provide you with the strength, stamina and continued faith to make it through. Our thoughts and prayers are for you, Michelle, Teri and their families. Again, we love you and wish we were there but we will see you in six weeks.
My the Lord continue to bless you,
Elder and Sister Boswell

Dennis, Michelle and Teri.... The memories I have with your family are too numerous to put in words.... So many of my childhood memories have something to do with Marilyn, or Michelle.... I do not think I have ever laughed as hard, with any other person. I even spewed milk from my nose on more then one occasion, because Marilyn made me laugh so hard... She was an amazing person, and I loved her dearly.... There has never been such a positive influence in my life, as Mare. My heart aches with you guys. Always know how much I love your family. Bubbles, you will truly be missed!!

I am so sorry to hear about Marilyn! I met her at Hand and Ortho while she was getting physical therapy there. She was one of my favorite patients, and I felt like we were great friends. She was such a happy, friendly person. I hope that the Lord will console you as a family and let you know that she is in a better place.
