We were so glad to attend Marilyn's lovely memorial service & to see all her loving family. She went too soon, but enjoyed life to the fullest, even though she had health issues to deal with. May God grant you all peace in your time of sorrow. Hugs again, Cousin Barbara Squire & 2nd cousin Stephanie Ringler. (Although it was always Aunt Barb to Terry :) )

Our sadness of the passing of your Mom, Terry and sister, Dave, Dennis and Bill. Such a loving woman who really enjoyed doing for others. She cut and styled our hair so many times that it can't be counted. She took pride in her work and her family.
