Chip, Cindy and Jeff,

I am so sorry to hear about Marilyn. All the wonderful memories I have about the many years our families spent together, all the Christmas eve celebrations, school events and birthday parties and all the wonderful get togethers Marilyn planned came to mind last night ...and stayed with me most of the night as I just could not fall asleep. I am so saddened by her passing but at the same time so reflective of her life as I remember how she touched my life and Elizabeth's and John's.

I am very sorry I will not be able to make it up to MA for the services as I am in Florida for a brief trip to care for my father.

Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

With deepest sympathy,

Mary Ellen
