Raymond and Family,
I am still reeling from the shock of opening the APP this morning. Marilyn always meant a great deal to me. My memories of her are mostly of our school years. We had gym first period for all four years. So many laughs, such wonderful times.
Ray, I remember when she told me that she had met you. She was just crazy about you from the start! We would meet later in life, and I could see how much she loved you and your family! Marilyn was very happy! She still had that wonderful smile, the last time we met. I will miss my old friend very much.
