Paul and Family, I just learned of Marilyn’s passing and I am so sorry for your loss. She was a lovely person and excellent librarian. I knew her for a long time before I knew she was married to my dear friend Marg’s brother. I miss Marg after all these years and think of her often. She called me after my late husband died and two weeks later she was gone. Paul , if you would care to talk please call me. I will call your church and leave my number. Again, I’m so sorry about Marilynshe was always so pleasant and lovely.
