Very sorry for your loss. We won't be able to make the wake as we'll be at my daughter's in Canton for mother's day. So sad to say goodbye on that day. Prayers coming your way.

Marilyn was a long time friend and sweet lady. We enjoyed laughing together, going out to lunch and coloring in her coloring book! Rest in peace my friend we will meet again one day.

In the past several months of working with Marilyn it was an absolute pleasure to be with her. Marilyn had the greatest sense of humor and loved to laugh. Marilyn was kind, loving and very thoughtful. Her family thought the world of her and I could understand why, because I absolutely adored this woman as well. I will deeply miss spending time with Marilyn and she will always be in my heart, she will be deeply missed. My condolences to her entire family, you all have a lot of great memories to look back on and smile and laugh of all the great times you all had with her.
