My deepest condolences. May God's Holy Spirit be with the family. I pray that he brings comfort to you all at this difficult time.

Martha and family, We are sorry to hear of your mother´s passing. Our prayers are with you as you go through the grieving process. Larry `Oleg´ and Robin Roche

Martha and family, I was so very sorry to learn of Marilyn´s passing. I was one of her piano students as a young girl. My mother wanted me to take from Marilyn because she had a reputation as being one of the "best" teachers you could have. In later years, I was fortunate enough to have her as my next door neighbor along with you and Risha. Marilyn definitely was a good cook and would bring me slices of the delicious cakes she would make. To this day I still have in my recipe box those...

Mrs. Marilyn was the kindest, strongest piano teacher I could have asked for. I will always think of you whenever I play. You will be missed

She is remembered fondly and was a special person in my younger life. First cousins were very close and since I only had three . She was the closest in age. I was a bit afraid of her when I was little say three to seven. She wanted me to stay out of her old toys dolls etc. I pleaded but to no avail. She also delighted in scaring me with a red hairy mask. Later we were friends and I looked up to her. I have many stories I could share but we all do.She was extremely talented with her...

To Marilyn's family - have known her most of my life; used to go home with her from school when we were both in grade school and then on to my Aunt's to spend the night. We were together in the Poquoson High School Band with great memories of those times; and we worked together at Langley; had lost touch since I moved to LA and didn't know she had moved to FL. She was a great person and will be missed by so many. God bless all of you at this most difficult time.

So very sorry to hear this. Loved playing along with her on Sunday mornings at Temple Baptist Church. Such a Sweet Lady. Hugs to You All

She played the organ and piano so beautifully. When my mother died, I asked her to play at the funeral. I requested Bridge Over Troubled Water to be played, along with some selected hymns that mother liked. Marilyn did a wonderful job of playing the music. When I went to pay her, she refused. She said this is my gift to you and your family. I thought that was so sweet. I don´t know if she realized how much I appreciated that. She was nice and very gifted. Have missed her playing...

I have so many wonderful memories of Marilyn and will always remember her with a smile. Sending lots of love and big hugs to Martha, Joe and family
