Emery, Sara, Matthew, and the grandsons,
I am so sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. I will always remember shopping at your garage sale and the Halloween costume's were always a hit - beautiful seamstress. I'll have you know those costumes are still being used in Megan's Kindergarten classroom today. They were beautiful, so well made just an example of Marilyn's amazing talents!!! You certainly can't buy anything like that in the store. SO every Halloween, just know that Marilyn's costume gifts are still in use!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time,

I was so sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. I got to know Marilyn when Sara attended Verona School. Marilyn was very active with the Verona PTA - always willing to help in any way she could. With Marilyn's help, she took all of the activities that Verona PTA had accomplished and submitted them for an award for Outstanding PTA in Michigan. We received that award due to Marilyn's excellent writing. Once our children left Verona school I lost contact with Marilyn but I know that she will be greatly missed.

I was saddened to hear of your family's loss, Sara. Without a doubt, your mother was proud of the fine young woman you became. May God grant you and your family peace and strength during this difficult time.

Marilyn's smile lit up the room! I met her during our years with the Battle Creek Home Economics Association. She was a great mentor to many! God Bless your family!

I was truly saddened to learn of this, Emery. Marilyn was the first parent we met at St. Philip the day we enrolled Virginia and Charlotte and Virginia and Sara were friends throughout, and still are. Not a day has passed since I first heard of this that I haven't had you and Sara in my thoughts. Those who knew her were blessed and she will be missed by all. So sorry.ZY
