So sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. I really enjoyed it when she would come into the salon to get her nails done and painted in her sparkly red color. She was a great woman and will be missed. Prayers to your family.

Our thoughts and prayers to the entire Konz family. As Elroy was known as the "mayor" of 5th street, Marilyn was truly the "first lady". Peace be with you. Love, Pete & Sher
