Marilyn and Clifford lived in Cherry Hills Village, a few doors away from me. They were wonderful neighbors. Clifford brought my Wall Street Journal to my door one day. He said the fox had been collecting them from the neighborhood for her nest, and he wanted to return them to their owners. We miss the Cressys and send sincere condolences to your family. Marilyn was a very fine person.

Dear Cressy Family,
Thank you so much for sharing Marilyn with me. Even though I just met her 5 years ago, it was as if we had known each other for a lifetime. She will be in my heart and you will be in my prayers. Lovingly in PEO.

Beloved family,
Even though we can't be with you, our hearts are with you. We loved Marilyn so much. Her sweet disposition and kind voice will be one of our greatest memories, plus her love for family. Our prayers go out to you Cliff, Ken, Collette and grandchildren. We take comfort knowing Marilyn is in a far better place with our Lord with no pain or sorrow. She is now able to breathe without oxygen--what a blessing!
Love, Jeanie & Randy and family
