Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and our times together. I miss you so much. My heart is broken. This world, just isn't a world, without you in it. I love you Grams, forever.

Grandma,
You were one of a kind.... I have so many fond memories of you and our conversations on the phone when you were busy watching the Andy Griffith show. I am so glad I got to visit with you a few years ago! I am so blessed beyond words to have a Grandmother like you! My mother definitely got all her outer and inner beauty from you Ms. Marilyn Marks!! You installed so many wonderful things into my mom Nancy and she has definitely molded us kids to be the same way. We owe it all to you. My mom Nancy and my Aunt Linda sure did love you with all their hearts and you truly made an incredible impact on everyone you ever came into contact with. Even though I am so sad with your passing, I am so happy that you are finally reunited with your wonderful son Skeeter who was my favorite uncle. I now have 2 angels watching over me instead of one. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers, and I look forward to reuniting with you and Skeeter one day again in heaven. Until then fly like the free angel you are, and please watch over me and our beautiful family and your daughters Nancy and Linda. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA!! Sealed with a KISS!
Love Your Grandson,
Vinnie

So fortunate and blessed to have spent some time with Marilyn while visiting with my wife Kimberly and our family. Great sense of humor. She was really quick and witty. We have such fond memories of those visits and pictures to show her great-grandchildren. We´ll keep her spirit alive and remember her for the sweet and kind person she was. God Bless!

Grandma,
You always remembered me, even thou we lived miles and miles apart I was still loved by you so deeply. I love and will never forget your voice, you always always made me laugh and would say the funniest things. Classy and Sassy is how I will always remember you!
I am so grateful you were surrounded by people who absolutely you adored you when you were not well. I am also so thankful that you molded my mom and my aunt to be such amazing role models that helped make us who we all are today for our children.
My mom is such a gift, a gift by you Grandma and I thank you for that.
I wish I could have spent so much more time with you feeding birds and being one with nature. Thank you for being my Grandmother but most of all thank you for always making me feel so loved. Rest in Heaven I love you always!

Such a beautiful and loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Your smile lit up a room, your wit easily created laughter. Your kind ways to animals have impacted us all to be a little more gentle, respectful and caring. We will miss you. We are at peace knowing you have been reunited with so many loved ones you have lost. We will always love and remember you. Marilyn Grace Marks.

My Sweet Momma,
It’s been a month since you left us and gained your wings to heaven. I’m relieved that you’re not in pain and suffering anymore but oh how I miss your precious voice and presence. You were the most loving mother a daughter could ask for and always was there to listen and give your advice. All the hardships in your life and you always had a smile on your loving face and in your heart ♥. I love you and miss you always and forever !
Your daughter,
Nancy ( NaNa )

It's a honor to be Marilyn's grandson. Of course everyone loves there grandmother and I was no different. My grandma was a classy lady with a soft-spoken voice and a infectious personality that was impossible not to like. I like to say that I got my sense of humor from her she was real funny and real witty. I believe I also got my Love of aminals from her and my mother.Marilyn would feed the raccoons cat food and thought they were so cute to look through the window and watch them eat on her front porch. I could sit here for a long time reflecting on Marilyn. My small family is obviously taking her passing quite hard and left a let void that will never be filled. I'm sure she wouldn't want us to be sad forever mourning her passing I hope she knew how precious she was to us I'm going to miss her voice her laugh her smell the smell of her house her presence she will be missed. Love you grandma. I appreciate you,
Me and Grams at a restaurant. So many good times in Santa Barbara.

Grams,
I miss you so much. My life is so empty without you in it. I can't go anywhere or do anything without remembering you or having a memory of you. I want you back. I will love you forever, and I pray blessings for your soul.
Love,
Your Granddaughter,
Tammy
