If I had a little more time with Marylee, I would love to tell her how very much she meant to our family. Her humor, her grace, her wisdom, and her patience made Marylee the perfect match for our family. Our gatherings will not be the same without that great laugh and that sharp wit! I miss Marylee so much already, but I am so thankful her struggle is over. I am wishing peace to all of us left to carry on with her memory, she was remarkable and I feel so fortunate to have been in her world.

Marylee was my saving grace back in 1978, when I was 15. We lost touch, but I knew she would go on to help others. She was a beautiful compassionate soul and has been, and will continue to be dearly missed.
My deepest sympathies to her family.

I always enjoyed visits with Marylee. She was kind and funny and had a great understanding of others. Marylee and Buddy made a sweet couple, whom I looked forward to
seeing at family gatherings. She made a difference in many lives and will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to Buddy and all of her family.

Marlee was my APS supervisor for 2 years and we grew to be friends. She was always so caring, so upbeat, and so positive. She always had a funny story and made the bureaucracy of the job manageable. The world has lost a beautiful soul. My sympathies and prayers to Buddy and the rest of her family.
