Marilyn was a wonderful friend to me in school, when it wasn´t always cool to be friends with the girl with Cerebral Palsy! I hope that she was rewarded in life for being that compassionate and loving friend and I know that she will be rewarded in Heaven! God bless my friend and her family! Lois Long Rinkenberger

Dear friend and classmate in elementary and Barry High School! She was very to me in the days when handicapped children were very rare in public school. May she be welcomed into everlasting peace! Lois Long Rinkenberger

Sending my thoughts and prayers to Edwin and family.
I met Marilyn at Blessing School of Nursing in 1959. I am sure she was a loving wife and mother. God Bless you and provide strength and comfort to you.

I worked with Marilyn at Creighton School. She ran the copy center and I was the librarian. Since she was part of the library I saw her every day and she was a lovely person. She shared lunch with our little group including Dee Ragsdale and Elaine Mriss and she put up with a lot of stress handed down by administration and some faculty but she was always professional and courteous. I know how much her family meant to her and they are in my prayers. The world needs more people like that sweet lady.

My condolences to this wonderful family. Marilyn was my neighbor and friend beginning in grade school through high school and then on to nuring school and roommates after that graduation. Thinking of her always brings great memories. I will miss my friend.
