l would like to express my sincere sympathy to your family. i met marlys when her mom was in the garden at brookcrest. she was a very devoted daughter. after her mom passed away she continued to visit our residents especially the roommate of her mom whom she had developed a close relationship. i remember her vivacious energy and beautiful smile. she would bring with her some of her children who the residents enjoyed seeing. it't difficult to know what to say during this very difficult time but my thoughts and prayers are with you. deb , lpn at brookcrest

Marlys was an Angel on earth now she is in heaven protecting her family, all the kids and those she loved. She had the biggest heart, she always opened her arms and her heart to everyone she knew. Thank you Marlys for your friendships, your love , your compassion and everything you did. This world is better because you were in it ❤.
