Dear Marilyn,
We are so very sorry, and we will miss you terribly. You were wonderful dancers, a perfect couple, fun to be with, and as good as they get.
Take care of yourself. I know that it is now unbearable for you. Eventually the wonderful memories will be comforting to you.
Again, we loved you both. Please stay in touch.
Love,
Mary Jo and Joe

Who could ever forget Nick? He was one of a kind. He had very strong opinions and was very passionate about a lot of issues. He never addressed himself as just Nick. It was always Nick and Marilyn to everyone. He loved to get Marilyn out on the dance floor and encouraged her to do her solo charleston when the music permitted. Nick was very upset and concerned when Marilyn had her medical issue. His love for Marilyn was commendable to say the least. Nick and Marilyn were regulars at Mango's Restaurant in Niles where the band plays every Thursday. Sometimes I would grab Nick away from Marilyn for a dance and loved to push his buttons and rile him up all in good fun. Our Mango group miss him already since he's been ill lately and could not be with us recently. May you rest in peace, my friend. Seymour and I will miss you.

Dear Marilyn and family,
Please accept my condolences on Nick's passing. I remember well when Phyllis and I would ride out bikes to your house in Elmwood Park many moons ago; it seems like only yesterday.
The last time I saw Nick, he said "How does it feel to get old, Joanie?" And I said I didn't know!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all,
Joan Milott and family
