Dear Chris and Family....Marilyn always had a smile and a
nice thing to say...She was fun to work with at the desk...
I was always impressed how quietly she could talk on the
phone to you Chris...you could tell she loved her family by the
way she spoke about you all...
Still remember the beautiful candle Christmas vignette
in your condo...She was very artistic...I cherish the eggs I
have...I know she is her ole self and smiling...eve

Marilyn was known for her beautiful decorated eggs and this time of year we looked forward to seeing the latest selection of Christmas ornament eggs. I've missed adding eggs and will appreciate the ones I have to put on my tree each year.
