I miss our "talks" we´d have in the mornings at the office whenever we had a chance to meet up. She was so sweet and could be quite funny as well. I´m looking at a picture she gave me for my retirement, which hangs on my living room wall. It´s bringing tears to my eyes, but I´m so happy that every time I see it, I´ll be thinking of Marilyn. Fly high in Paradise.
