Dear Steve and Family. I was sad to see the passing of Marilyn. I followed you guys through the Donut Shop Ads and saw you on TV. It seems there was a wonderful life the two of you shared with each other and with your family. Thinking of you.

It's impossible to find the words to express how deeply I will miss Marilyn. To me she was a friend, a sister and a boss. She was always ready to listen and lend a shoulder when I needed it most. She will live in my heart forever and that is how long I will love her. May she rest in peace and may her family find solace in knowing she loved each of them more than life itself. God Bless.
