Some of my best memories included Bob and Marilyn Milner, as we were neighbors in Germany. They were so very kind to my husband, Jonathan, and I and their kindness taught us both to always "pay it forward". Denise and Elise were just babies, but were rays of sunshine in our day. The family has made many long lasting memories . I am sorry for your loss.

My memories of Marilyn are so warm and wonderful. She always had a smile on her face and listened with care. I loved the little hint of her Rhode Island accent. She was an amazing, kind, and special woman. I am so very sorry for your loss. The world will be a little off kilter for a while, but heaven will be brighter.
