Sincere sympathy to Marilyn's family & close friends. I had the privelege of seeing her twice this summer & she expresssed her concern for others, rather than talking about her own health issues. She will be remembered by me and many others in West Michigan & at Japanese Gardens Estates in Venice, Florida for her friendliness and kindness to everyone.
