Marilyn VanEss

My sympathies to your family. Praying you will feel God's immeasurable love and peace at this time. As a lifelong friend to my mom Carolee, "Aunt Mare" has always been in my life. Our family trips to her cottage with Lori and Toby. The fun of catching the minnows in or sand pails with them. Our trip to Mackinac Island. The countless coffee and donut mornings mom, Aunt Mare and their friends had that I got to be a part of. Such a fun and beautiful lady who will be missed.

On behalf of the Akubu Family, we extend our deepest sympathies. May your soul find eternal peace, and may your memory continue to shine as a source of love and inspiration. With heartfelt condolences, The Akubu Family

My sincere sympathy to mares family and all who knew her. She was my super special buddy through my whole life. God Bless You dear friend. And lots of love Care Zoerhoff

My condolences to Jim and all of the Van Ess family. My parents had a friendship with the jonker parents know from Richmond Reformed as well as all the children. Also attended oakleigh and graduated from Union " class of 55 " with Marilyn. May God bless you " Jim " and you family in this time of sorrow !

In 1983 God brought this wonderful family into our lives by them stopping to pheasant hunt and the rest is history! We cherish these people and will forever hold them close to us in our thoughts and prayers, especially at this time of celebration of Marilyn's life. To God be the Glory
