Susan, Ann, Cindi!
I was saddened to learn that your dear mother, Marilynn had passed away in March. I'm Carolyn Hopkins, married to David Hopkins. I came to know your dear mother when visiting her and my father-in-law, Sam in Florida. We became really good friends and I loved her dearly. I stayed in touch with Marilynn until maybe a year and a half ago or so while she was still in her own home. I know how much she loved you girls and your families. She would always keep me up on her grandchildren. We have had some health challenges here and it has caused me to neglect contacting dear friends. I sought to find if Marilynn still had the same address and came across the obituary. I offer my condolences and realize they are several months past her passing. Please know I pray your hearts will be comforted as I know you loved her as much as she did you. I count it a blessing and joy to have known her here on this earth and look forward to seeing her again one day in our heavenly home. Blessings and loving thoughts! Carolyn
