My Dear Susan,
I was shocked and saddened to read of the passing of your mother. She was such a loyal customer of Marilyn's Hallmark and must have always remembered everybody with her frequent purchases of beautiful Hallmark cards. I liked to try to get her to giggle. You were both so welcomed to see in the store.
You and your family have my most sincere condolences and will be in my prayers.
Heather Stevens (former store manager at Marilyn's Hallmark)

I worked with Marj at Unisys, Rockwell Int'l and FRC. If ever there was a dedicated employee it was Marj Miller. May your memories help you through this difficult time.
