You were our "Go To" when life threw us curveballs, you were our comfort from life's storms, and because of you, we have the hearts of a lion, unbreakable spirits, the love of our family, and stories to last beyond our lifetimes. May we all find comfort in knowing that Marilyn's legacy lives on through the lessons she taught us, the love she shared so generously, and the dash she lived filled with memories to cherish forever.
May she be remembered for the lasting impact left on everyone who knew and loved her.
