Oh Marilyn! I will always be such a fan. What extraordinary brilliance you showered upon us! Having been blessed to be born into the Lee family, I can remember seeing you and Alan sitting at our piano at wonderful singers parties my parents threw, regaling us with your gifts. Thank you from the bottom of my soul for all you shared and enjoy those angelic musical parties! With so much love, Diana Lee ❤❤❤

Marilyn’s photo makes me smile — just as she did whenever I saw her or heard one of her beautiful songs. I love my amazing cousin and I am lucky to have known her.

We keep the music playing by listening, loving and singing the songs that Alan and Marilyn wrote that feed, nourish, capture all the senses of a human and humanity. I have loved and sung many of their songs in my gigs at the Gardenia et al and they will live in perpetuity certainly. They are the Sondheim of cabaret and the American Songbook as Sondheim is to theatre. Marilyn I knew you from afar as you watched adoringly each time Alan would perform from the Jazz Bakery to Catalina Bar & Grill and especially most recently with Tierney Sutton you were't in the audience sadly. Your talents together was a gift that kept on giving and for that we are grateful for your life and may your soul Rest In Peace always love, Lynda & Stan Levy

Marilyn may you Rest In Peace. I was saddened to hear of your passing this morning, learning of your departure while listening to you and Alan on a previously recorded Seriously Sinatra show. While searching google for something you had said, your passing popped up.
You brought so much joy to my heart with your real life songs. Say hello to Frank for me, tell him I miss him everyday
I am certain that Frank, Dean, Sammy Davis Jr and my Aunt Nancy were all together waiting with open arms for you.
Enjoy your next adventure, whatever that may be.
Until we meet again

I want to thank her for the beautiful lyrics she wrote. As someone who loves language, I appreciate anyone who can write poetry - and musical lyrics are just that. I think of her lyrics from "The Way we Were;" there is something in those words that has touched me every time I hear the song. May she rest in peace.
