Marilyn,
I miss you and thank you for the good times - laughter and wine, sharing stories and more. Your Mom's shrimp salad will live on and on! Love you and am happy for your peace.

Marilyn added a wonderful sense of laughter and delight to Scurry Pass. Her lesson in how to make tamales will remain legend.
I am sure she is totally enjoying the heavenly choir!
