I have so much love for the Bollinger Family. Marilyn & David's love is a storybook kind of love. Seeing the devotion of Marilyn's family and friends makes me heart swell, she has touched so many people's lives. I am honored to be considered "family" by this great family. May we take comfort in knowing she is no longer in any pain and that we all have such a wonderful angel looking over us.

I graduated with Marilyn and we used to hang together in school. I haven't seen her for many years. When I saw her photo, I immediately knew it was Marilyn Witmer, because she still has that beautiful straight hair and that infectious smile. What a sweet girl and sounds like she was as sweet of a woman. I am so sorry for your loss. I will be keeping you all in my prayers.

Sending my deepest condolences for your recent loss. Losing someone we love is one of the most devastating experiences in life, and the pain can seem unbearable. But trusting our loving heavenly father, the God of all comfort can fortify us and give us much needed comfort and peace ~ Psalms 29:11.

I knew Marilyn for the 30 years she worked for Dr. Churgai. Despite dreading a visit to the dentist I ALWAYS looked forward to seeing Marilyn's smiling face when I walked in the door. She was a delight and a joy to be around. I look forward to seeing her again in heaven.
