Not sure what to say?

My husband and I were just talking about Marilyn today and so sorry we didn't know about her passing! She knew my parents from Faith Lutheran Church and my Mother in law Marion Boelens! I used to see Marilyn at my work at Meijer! So sorry to hear about her passing! Our condolences!

So sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. Glad I was able to talk to her in January. She was so positive and cheerful. Remembering all the fun times we had over 60 years. My sincerest sympathy to all the family and may the wonderful and happy memories bring you comfort ans peace. Elsie

My sincere condolences on Marilyn's passing. I will miss her sense of humor and friendly smile in the neighborhood. She was a fortunate woman to have a family who took such good care of her for these last several months and facilitated her wishes for the end of her life! She is now in a better place and at peace!

Marilyn was such a warm hearted and classy lady. She was a good friend to my mom Ellenor. I have wonderful loving memories of Marilyn and family. I loved her honesty and sense of humor. She was a proud woman and loved her family. I will never forget how proud she was of her new shiny Camero! May she forever rest in peace with Jesus.

We so enjoyed Marilyn's loving Christian friendship. She was a wonderful Christian example to us. Our condolences to her family.

Marilyn always looked on the bright side of things. I will miss her.

Gary and Marilyn, Our deepest sympathy to you and all the Damstra family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Marilyn and I talked about the peace she received from her Good Shepherd, that when she was suffering or worried she could picture herself being carried along by him. Truly, she is in his arms and she shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

I am so sorry to read of your mom's passing Christine. I will pray for you and the children and grandchildren. Love you always,
