To your family, she was a great strong lady. She was always for her kids. As Time went along her grand children and then great grand children. While Marilyn was in the police dept. she became a mother to all of us. I met Marilyn in the early 1980’s . Her friendship was 2nd to none. We had a great bond and love for each other. Marilyn I will miss your smile and laugh. I am so glad we were friends for so long even when mileage was between us. Rest in piece my friend till we meet again. Love you Vicky
