Not sure what to say?

Emery, Sara, Matthew, and the grandsons,

I am so sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. I will always remember shopping at your garage sale and the Halloween costume's were always a hit - beautiful seamstress. I'll have you know those costumes are still being used in Megan's Kindergarten classroom today. They were beautiful, so well made just an example of Marilyn's amazing talents!!! You certainly can't buy anything like that in the store. SO every Halloween, just know that...

I was so sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. I got to know Marilyn when Sara attended Verona School. Marilyn was very active with the Verona PTA - always willing to help in any way she could.

Em, so sorry to hear of your loss. Find comfort in knowing that it was a life well lived and she leaves a loving legacy.
You are in our thoughts.

Marilyn always had a cheerful smile & wave, whenever she saw us walking in our neighborhood. Emery, You & your family are in our thoughts & prayers.

I was saddened to hear of your family's loss, Sara. Without a doubt, your mother was proud of the fine young woman you became. May God grant you and your family peace and strength during this difficult time.

Marilyn's smile lit up the room! I met her during our years with the Battle Creek Home Economics Association. She was a great mentor to many! God Bless your family!

I was truly saddened to learn of this, Emery. Marilyn was the first parent we met at St. Philip the day we enrolled Virginia and Charlotte and Virginia and Sara were friends throughout, and still are. Not a day has passed since I first heard of this that I haven't had you and Sara in my thoughts. Those who knew her were blessed and she will be missed by all. So sorry.ZY

So sorry for your loss, Emery. It sounds like she was a very special lady.

So very to see that Marilyn passed. She was a lovely person, always happy and smiling. She was a Sorority Sister another Chapter but she will be missed.. Sincere sympathy and prayers to the family.
