Sincere Sympathy to the McDonald family. Marilyn was a unique, generous, caring person. She always thought of others and was so sweet. I knew Marilyn from the Northeast Senior Center, Aging Partners. She was fun to play Pitch with. Heaven gained an angel. She had been through too much with the loss of her sons. Now she no longer has to suffer.
Sincerely, Cheryl Frederick
