Uncle Jack, Patti, Tom, Eileen and John:
May you keep the wonderful memories and the joyful times that you had together with Aunt Maryln as you celebrate a life well lived. I only wish that I had kept closer to you all. I have to echo Craig's comments about Aunt Maryln's warm smile and great sense of humor. She would also make me aware of the fact that I did not take the time to keep in touch with you all, justly so. I know that Aunt Maryln is up in heaven with Our Lord and that all her suffering is gone. I will always keep her in my prayers.

Hi Patti, Eileen, Tom, and John,
I was Nancy Ross and lived across the street from you in the '60's. I remarried in the '90's and lost touch with you and your parents. I will always remember your mom as one of my very best friends in those years and was so sorry to hear of her death.We did a lot together and I shared a lot. We seemed to agree on almost everything and we took turns "sitting" for Johnny and Susie and Andy. I remember the time Johnny and Andy spread dog poop all over a tricycle; she and I both laughed as the boys washed it off under our supervision.
I wish I had known Patti was in Charlottesville as we were there this last fall to visit Monticello. We could have just said hi!
My love goes out to all of you and to your dad. She was a great person and good friend.
Nancy
I heard about this from Cathrine Weisenbeck with whom I keep in touch at Christmas.

Uncle Jack and Aunt Marilyn's Special Family,
My deepest sympathies for your loss and the long illness of Aunt Marilyn. She was truely a special and blessed person who had such a warm smile and a great sense of humor that touched me as I grew up being the youngest member of Robert Young's first family. She will be locked in my heart as a kind and endearing Aunt and how fortunate you have been to have her as a wife and mother. My thoughts and prayers go forth to you in this time of grief and to know she resides in a place of peace.

Patrice,
The Drozda family regrets the loss of your mother and we extend our deepest sympathies to you, Scott, Lindsey and Lauren. Special people like you Patrice can only come from mothers that are equally special and I'm certain this was the case with Marilyn. She is truly in a better place now and surrounded by God's eternal love. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your wonderful family.

Dear Patrice and family,
I unfortunately didn't ever have the pleasure of meeting your mom, however if she had the spunk and the exuberence for life, that you, your family and your kids have, then I can only imagine what a beautiful person she was. I am truly sorry for your loss, but know that she is in a much better place than we are.. and that one day she will be waiting with open arms.
