I was shocked to hear of Marilyn's passing. On Monday I heard that she was better and was joining in the activities at the Nursing Home. Yesterday, Diane called us to tell us the sad news. Marilyn and I worked at Raytheon and she, Dick, Mitch and I became close friends. We are in Florida for the winter and sorry that we cannot pay our respects in person. Whenever we returned to Andover, Mitch & I would pick Marilyn up every Saturday and go out to breakfast. She was a true friend and we will miss her. Our deepest sympathy to all her family.
Sincerely,
Vivian Sawaya
