Not sure what to say?

To the family of Marilyn, I am so sorry to hear about Marilyn. I worked with her at MRDD since the mid 80's and she went on to work at the Bath Center until she retired.
Please know that you all are in my prayers and have my deepest sympathies.

Dear Sweet Marilyn,
May you enjoy horseback riding and the finest cheesecake in heaven. We will meet you at Babushkas in the sky.

We remember the Garfield days, Camp Perry exploits, and TG dinners with our families forever.

With love, Rhea Jones Ashmore & Dana Lee Jones Ita

I worked with Mare for many many years at the Weave. She was a vey caring, and compassionate person. I will always remember the great staff gatherings that we all attended. We all have some stories to tell about those events. She will be missed by many. God Bless you Mare.

Marilyn will be missed by many that loved her. I will miss her and always remember her courageous perserverance in her difficult times. Her love of people and animals was inspiring. God Bless Marilyn and her family. Love, Kate

Marilyn and I reconnected at our 40 year high school reunion. During those high school years we sang together and laughed together. After the reunion several of us kept in touch.
