Dear Chris, Beth, Sue, and Nancy, Sending tender condolences to you each as you embrace the passing of your mom. As a member of the proud Montclair kids pack, I celebrate your mom as such a force for goodness in our early GE years, and certainly in the positive, purposeful impact she has had in the lives of so many thereafter. May you feel her close, often, as your lives move forward carrying her deep love, joy, and pride in you each always. Warm wishes, Jane Dillon May

Marilyn and I became bonded over sports. We would text back and forth throughout every cardinals game, expressing our frustration. Sometimes she would vow never to watch again, only to send a text the very next week. I only met her a few short years ago, but she brought me many smiles. I will miss her.

Of the many times we shared, my favorite was when she visited me in Michigan, where she awed my family with her vast sports knowledge. She squeezed on the couch during the Suns playoff games, cheered like the biggest fan, and did a running commentary about each players strengths and weaknesses. All of my children and grandchildren were incredibly impressed. The games were less fun once she left town,

To Beth and family - Please accept my condolences on the passing of your much loved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you navigate through the coming months. May the happy memories you have of your mom bring you peace and solace.

Many golf mornings with her bright cheery smile.

My sweet, sweet guest at Arrowhead Country Club. She was always a pleasure to be around. Always a smile and positive words. For years, she gifted my family with her Christmas creations. I was honored to have served her years ago.

Your heart soon will be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
