Our love and sympathy to the family

Marilynn and I were classmates from Kindergarten through high school. In one of our later grades she sat next to me and I admired how she could read books all through class and still know the answers to questions when the teacher called on her. I think she read more books than anyone. She was also a good athlete--we were rivals on field days at the end of the school year and she was really fast.

Aunt Marilyn IS a woman of consistent faith and love. She loves and cherishes her family and the gatherings we all share at the table.

This is sad to hear. I worked with Marilyn at the Woolen Mill in the '70s; she was a great person. I'm so sorry for your loss, Robin and Val. Peace.

We both had baby girls at the same time; St Lorenz Church and School continued to be our common ground as our lives continued. Wish I had taken more time to cultivate our friendship. Life was so busy! I look forward to meeting Marilyn in heaven with our Lord and Savior.
