Marilyn is a fantastic woman who was so full of life and love that everyone felt it. I will always remember our parties and washer games we all had together. We shared some great moments. I feel honored to have known her and be part of her life. We will all forever treasure her life with us as she will remain in our hearts and memories. We will all meet some day for the washer games up above. Marilyn will set the boxes up and practice until we arrive. She lives forever in all of us.
