My family first met Marilyn and Lyle at James Island Co Parks at the Holiday Festival of Lights. They made friends with my late wife, Kelly, and her parents Roy and Ronny Ann Quayle while working at the light festival. I am sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing but rest assured she lead a full life and is resting peacefully in Heaven. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
