I was blessed to know Marilyn for over 50 years. I first met he as the Mother of my best friend, her daughter Wendy. Marilyn always made my feel welcome in her home throughout the years. When ever we would see each other, she would always great me with a hug and ask about my family. My heart goes out to Richard, Jane and Wendy. Rest In Peace Marilyn till we see you again. With much love, Debbie.
