I remember Marilyn from St Francis Hospital, School of Nursing, Trenton. We graduated in 1972. Spent time with her outside of class at my house once and other visits to our nursing student friends- she was also known as " Pooh Bear" and was animated and a lot of fun. Will have Masses said for her-May her Soul be at rest.+

Dear Jeffrey,
I am so sorry you lost your sister & your best friend. You had a very special bond not many siblings have, you were both blessed to share that. To say you will miss her is an understatement I am sure, may you hold on to all the happy memories.
Marilyn was such a special person, one of the most pleasant, positive people I have ever met. My last visit with Marilyn we spoke about things I had long forgotten; she remembered everything. Marilyn as sick as she was always had a smile on her face. I was Blessed to know you. May you REST IN PEACE
Love,
Kathleen
