I am so sorry to hear about the loss of this amazing women. While I volunteered for Senior Care Volunteers I got to spend time with Marilyn and Howard as I drove them to doctors appointments or the store. I so so admired Marilyns zest for life. She was enthusiastic about all the crafts she worked on and shared some of her knitting patterns with me. I am currently out of town and unable to attend her funerals, but will be sending warn thoughts to Howard and the family. Memories of Marilyn will be in my heart always..
