I miss my mother very much. Words cannot say. but I will cherrish the good memeories we had. Most of all with my children (her grandchildren) I love you mom.

Bonnie was one of my best friend's threw school. I got to know her mom fairly early in life. She is one of the most kind hearted people you could ever meet. I went through alot very erly in life and lost alot of friend due to this, but Maralyn never passed judgement on me or what I had done. I loved her for this. She had a way of making people feel special no matter what the sircumstance. Very seldom in life do you get the chance to meet such an amazing person but luckly I can say I have. I know in my heart that her spirit lives on, it will always be watching over her children and her grandchildren. Such an amazing spirit could never die, every life she touched, every life she thought about will always have her close at heart. She is now one of the presious angles we only dream about, too beautiful for sight too sweet to touch. But know this, if you were luckly enough to know her in life she will always be by your side. Watching your every move, to guide you in the right direction, to watch for your safety. I only wish I could have been there not only for Bonnie but also for Marilyn and her family to let them know that no matter how far I moved away and no matter how long it had been, I love them all and would always be there no matter what. Although it took loosing her to bring Bonnie and myself back together I promise, my back was never turned and never would be.

With all my love Bonnie M Purcell & family

A poem from me to you Bonnie.

Never think of me again.

If I were a star falling down from the sky would you wish on me?
Or turn away with just one glance
and never think of me again?

If I were a shell lying in the sand
would you put me in your pocket,take me home and keep me?
Or throw me in the ocean with just a toss and never think of me again?

If I were a rose blooming in a field of daisies would you stop to smell me?
Or drive away, laugh and play
and never think of me again?

If your eyes met mine in passing one day would you stop to look at me?
Or walk away without one thought
and never think of me again?

I have known Marilyn for many years through Middletown Regional Hospital. She was one of the kindest women I have ever known...and one of the hardest workers. She took amazing pride in her work - I always knew things would be done 100% of the time when Marilyn was there. I'll miss her alot...

Marilyn was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. She was my sunday school teacher when I was a little girl. She was so kind and patient, and always had a smile on her face. We loved her so much. She will be greatly missed.

She was my Mom and I was closer to her than I was anyone. She had the best heart and the most tender loving smile. She was about doing what was right & good and she will forever be in my heart from now until my eternity until I see her again. A mother's love is forever.

Marilyn was a dear friend of ours. She was a very kind and sweet woman and a wonderful children's worker. She taught both of our daughters in Sunday School and they have fond memories of those years. Our family loved her and will miss her very much.

Marilyn was a special person and I was luck to have worked with her at MRH. We would talk about our families, she was so proud of them. I will remember her kind heart and her great smile. Anyone who knew her was blessed. With Sympathy. Rita Blevins

I never knew Marilyn's family. But I worked with her at Middletown Hospital. I only got to work with her for 3 yrs. But she was a very special lady. She especially talked obout her litte pom Scuby. He was one of her prize posessions. I also had a pom and we talked about them alot. I hated to see her retire, but she needed to. I will always cherish the time I got to work with her.
